Using ctrl-c during checking the list of databases

Hi ,

 

I am new to cache and I want to check with the experts to see if using the ctrl-c option while checking the list of databases is valid one or will it cause any issues. Below is my scenario

I use the below command to check the list of database 

 

%SYS>do ^MSU

 1) Create a database
 2) Edit a database
 3) List databases
 4) Delete a database
 5) Mount a database
 6) Dismount a database
 7) Compact globals in a database
 8) Show free space for a database
 9) Show details for a database
10) Recreate a database
11) Manage database encryption
12) Return unused space for a database
13) Compact freespace in a database
14) Defragment globals in a database

Now I used option 3 to list my databases 

and I got a list of databases and below is what I got 

     (Multiple selections allowed: * for all, or list such as 1,4,7-10)
Database directories?
 

but instead of using "Enter" to go back to my previous list which gave me the options like " Create databases, Edit database etc"

I accidentally picked the option 64 and it gave me 

Device :

so in order to return back to the previous command list which had the below options 

1) Create a database
 2) Edit a database
 3) List databases
 4) Delete a database
 5) Mount a database
 6) Dismount a database
 7) Compact globals in a database
 8) Show free space for a database
 9) Show details for a database
10) Recreate a database
11) Manage database encryption
12) Return unused space for a database
13) Compact freespace in a database
14) Defragment globals in a database
 

I entered "CTRL-C"  and it brought me to the list of options which I needed. Can you please let me know will using "CTRL-C" instead of "Enter or return" will it cause any issues 

 

Thank you 

Karthik
