Using PF keys z/OS TSO/E Primer SA32-0984-00 |
|
Up to now you have issued commands such as END and HELP by entering them on the COMMAND/OPTION line of a panel. Another way to issue a command is to press a program function (PF) key. A PF key represents a command or a series of commands. Pressing one PF key is equivalent to typing the command on the COMMAND line and pressing the Enter key. Keyboards can have 12 or 24 PF keys. Generally the PF keys are preset to default values. To see your PF key values, enter keys on the COMMAND/OPTION line of any panel on which you can use TSO/E. If you have 24 PF keys, you first see the values for PF keys 13-24.
Generally these values are the same as the ones for PF keys 1-12.
(To see values 1-12, press the Enter key.) You can compare your preset
values to the following default values:
If you have 12 PF keys, you see the values for PF keys 1-12. You can compare
your preset values to the following default values:
To display PF key defaults on each panel as you work, type pfshow on
the COMMAND/OPTION line. You then see the PF key defaults displayed
on the bottom two lines of the panel.
To remove the PF key defaults from the bottom of each panel, enter pfshow off on the COMMAND/OPTION line. Note: From now on when we refer to issuing certain commands, we mention
using the default PF keys. For example, we say press the END PF key
(PF 3), however, you still can enter the equivalent command on the
COMMAND or OPTION line.
