DESCRIPTION
The Keys window is used to control PF key assignments. As shown in Keys Window , the window displays the debugger commands that are to each of the 24 PF keys. (Your terminal may not have all 24 keys.) The following fields are used to change default PF key assignments:

Help Key:
is used to assign the help key. By default, this field contains a 1, which assigns the help < > command to the PF1 key. To specify another PF key as the help key, type the PF key number in this field. The PF key that is assigned as the help key is always displayed in the left field of the Status window.

Typing a 0 in the Help Key field, or leaving it blank, indicates that you do not want a PF key assigned to the help < > command. This gives the PF key its default assignment and unprotects the field so that you can type a new debugger command.

key name area
is a protected area that identifies each of the 24 PF keys. Some terminals may not have all 24 keys. See your terminal documentation for more information.

Ispf?
is located between the key name and the key definition fields. The Ispf? field is used to specify that a particular PF key be handled by ISPF instead of the debugger. When set to Y, the key is handled by ISPF; N is the default, causing the key to be handled by the debugger.

To select Y, use the ISPF interface to invoke the debugger.

key definition area
is used to assign a debugger command to a PF key. Each PF key has a key definition field that contains the debugger command assignment for that key. For example, the key definition field for the PF2 key shows the window move < > command. Command assignments are made by typing over the default command. The only exception is the key definition field for the help key, which is assigned to PF1 by default. Before you can change the command that is assigned to the PF1 key, you must use the Help Key: field to select another help key. To return a PF key to its default assignment, erase the key definition field and press ENTER.

Any debugger command that is valid in full-screen mode may be assigned to a PF key. The symbols in the key definition field indicate that no debugger command has been assigned. The placeholder symbols, < >, are used to indicate that the name of the window in which the cursor is located is to be inserted at that point in the command.
