DESCRIPTION
-
PF keys can be used to issue debugger commands
in full-screen mode. The
keys command is used
to list or modify PF key assignments. You can issue the keys command from the command line, the command window, or a configuration
file; however, it is not valid in a PROFILE.
Format 1: This format lists the PF key
assignments. Issuing the command without any arguments will display all PF
key assignments. If issued with the optional list keyword, the keys command will display the command assigned to the PF key
specified by the N argument. Using an asterisk (*) as the N argument also
displays all PF key assignments.
Format 2: In the configuration file, this
format changes the definition of the PF key indicated by the N argument to
the command specified by the STRING argument. This becomes the session's initial
assignment for that PF key, which is copied to a table used by the debugger.
When used outside the configuration file, during a debug
session, this format does not change the initial PF key; therefore, you can
use format 3 to restore your default PF key assignments.
Format 3: This format sets the PF key indicated
by the N argument to its default command assignment. Using an asterisk (*)
for the N argument gives all PF keys their initial assignments for the session.
When used in a configuration file, this command must be before any keys define commands (format 2).
Format 4: This format sets
the PF key indicated
by the N argument to the help < > command. N can be any number from 0 to 24. The key
assigned to the help < > command
is referred to as the help key. If you do not want to have a help key, a 0
is used as the N argument.
If format 4 of the keys
command is used to reassign the help key during a session, the default command
assignment is restored to the old help key. By default, PF1 is assigned the help < > command.
If present in the configuration file, the
keys help command must be before the keys define command.
Format 5: This format is used to
specify
PF keys that are to be handled by ISPF. The N argument is used to select the
PF key. Use an asterisk (*) for the N argument to indicate all PF keys. The
keyword on is used to assign a PF key to ISPF
and the keyword off causes the debugger to
handle the key. This setting is shown in the Keys window. By default all keys
are handled by the debugger. The help key cannot be assigned to ISPF.
