Tailoring commands and function keys to your business applications

With QMF for TSO and CICS®, you can customize commands and function keys to provide seamless integration between the QMF interface and applications specific to your business needs and operations.

Customizing commands is as simple as creating a command synonym table in the database, entering execution instructions for those commands into the table, then updating the user's row in the QMF profiles control table to point to the name of the synonyms table.

A command synonym does not have to correspond to a single execution instruction; for example, you might create a command synonym called PRINT that invokes a printing application and routes the output to the appropriate printer with the specified page size and parameters.

After you create command synonyms, you can use the same basic process to assign the synonyms to function keys.
