Consult the following snap shotsand answer the following question: EDIT, member list. I am located on the screen of option 2 from the POM, in front of the member list, and I want to go to the Data Set List Utility screen (option 3.4) as easily as possible. For this I enter the following command:
- 3.4
- Exit;3.4
- =3.4
- Swap 3.4
Correct Answer

The Edit and Private Edit modes, on the other hand, are for making changes to the dataset and may not allow concurrent access by multiple users.
