Function keys and the Syntax Checker
Under ISPF, use the FKA ON command to
display function keys, and use the KEYS command to
set function keys.
The Syntax Checker panels and Help panels have function keys assigned
through an ISPF keylist. Although ISPF allows you to turn off the
use of keylists, you should leave keylists on if you use the Help
panels. Some function keys continue to be active, but are not shown
when FKA ON is used. Table 1 describes
the function keys used for the Syntax Checker.
