The following table describes the menu options (which includes access to the four M+R tools) on the Merge+Reconcile primary menu.

Menu Option	Description
M	Invokes the Member Reconciliation Menu, which allows you to reconcile up to eight versions of a program, copybook, JCL procedure, or other source type. The versions may be members of libraries or sequential data sets.
L	Invokes the Library Consolidation Menu. This option offers additional features for consolidating up to eight versions of a source library.
S	Invokes the Source/Copy Libraries Synchronization Menu. This option supports concurrent merge and reconciliation of source and copy code (up to eight versions of program libraries and eight copybook libraries).
J	Invokes the Equivalent JCL Comparison Menu. This option is a unique JCL comparison tool that helps in tracing how changes to separate pieces of JCL code affect the equivalent JCL resulting from procedure expansion and symbol substitution.
C	Displays a panel that explains the new features of M+R and changes from the prior release of M+R (formerly known as Merge+Reconcile, Concurrent Development Facility, and CDF).
W	Invokes the interactive guided tour (walk-through) that combines tutorial text with reconciliation actions.
T	Invokes the online M+R Tutorial.
X	Exits your M+R session and returns you to the ChangeMan Primary Option Menu.
