Using Control Keys

Using Control Keys

You can use control keys (such as PF keys, PA keys, and Enter) as an alternative to top-line commands. Default control key assignments differ between the OCF, online compilers, and IDD Menu Facility. To display the current control key assignments, use the HELP command. Top-line and line commands override PF keys. When you enter a top-line or line command, PF keys have the same function as Enter, which updates the work file. PA1, PA2, and Clear have priority over the commands in the command area. If you press one of these keys, no data is transmitted from the terminal.
