Function keys can also be used to exit ASF or to switch to CA OLQ. To leave ASF entirely, use CLEAR. To switch to CA OLQ, use PF13 from the Activity Selection screen or type OLQ in the simulated PF key field of any screen.

When you exit from ASF, TCF maintains the ASF session and transfers control as described in the following table. However, an ASF session is not suspended in the usual sense when you leave ASF by transferring control to CA OLQ. Instead, TCF maintains your ASF signon information and retains currency on the table, if one was selected. When you select ASF from your suspended sessions list, TCF uses the retained signon and table information, and displays the ASF Activity Selection screen regardless of the screen you were using when you transferred control to CA OLQ.

Transferring from ASF

The way your current ASF session ends and TCF transfers control on exit depends on the exit method you use, as described in the following table.
