Attention identifier constants, DFHAID

The standard attention identifier list, DFHAID, simplifies testing the contents of the EIBAID field. The following table shows you the symbolic name for the attention identifier (AID) and the corresponding 3270 function.

You can get a copy of the list by copying DFHAID into your application program. For COBOL users, it consists of a set of 01 statements that must be copied into the working-storage section. For C users, it consists of a series of defined constants. For PL/I users, it consists of DECLARE statements defining elementary character variables.

Table 1. Standard list DFHAID Constant Meaning DFHENTER ENTER key. DFHCLEAR CLEAR key. DFHPA1– DFHPA3 PA1–PA3 keys. DFHPF1– DFHPF24 PF1–PF24 keys. DFHOPID OPERID or MSR. DFHMSRE Extended (standard) MSR. DFHTRIG Trigger field. DFHPEN SELECTOR PEN or CURSOR SELECT key. DFHCLRP1 CLEAR PARTITION key. DFHSTRF1 Structured field pseudo-AID.
