Customizing Keyboard Parameter Files

A CA Automation Point keyboard parameter file defines keyboard operations for both the mainframe and workstation environments.

Some keys that apply in the mainframe environment, such as PF15, have no meaning in a workstation environment. Likewise, some keys that apply in the workstation environment have no meaning in the mainframe environment. Because CA Automation Point windows communicate with both the workstation operating system (through CA Automation Point function windows) and the mainframe operating system (through terminal emulator windows), using the same physical keyboard, you can customize a keyboard parameter file to define the keyboard operations that apply in each environment for your particular site or use the CA Automation Point default keyboard parameter file. The enhanced 101-key keyboard is the default keyboard.

This section describes how you can customize keyboard parameter files.
