Assigning and Reassigning PF Keys

The KEYS command allows you to assign or reassign system-wide command functions to PF keys.

Terminals that support 24 program function keys display the Primary Keys (PF keys 1 to 12) when the KEYS command is entered. Press Enter to switch between the Primary Keys and Alternate Keys (PF keys 13 to 24).

Terminals that support 12 program function keys have a PF Key Definition panel for PF keys 1 to 12.

To assign or reassign system-wide command functions to PF keys, do the following:

1. Enter KEYS on the command line of any panel, and press Enter to display the PF Key Definitions panel.
