Inquiry Screens
TINS Inquiry Menu (INQMEN)

The INQMEN screen provides a menu of common online inquiry screens and also lists the screen ID for each screen. Most inquiry screens can be accessed through the INQMEN screen except the following three screens, which require Line 1 Entry:

• Payee Name Search (PAYNAM)
• TINS Bankruptcy File (BKRUPD)
• Multi-Tax Summary (MTSUMM) – A Comptroller taxpayer inquiry screen

You can recall the INQMEN menu by typing INQMEN on the command line, also known as Line 1, located at the upper-left of the screen.

Access

Access INQMEN with a Line 1 Entry from the CICS Login to TINS or USAS Login to TINS.
