SET DEFENTK Command

SET DEFEntk < ON or OFF >

Use the SET DEFENTK command to change the default ENTER key use, when the ENTER key alone is hit, with no other data being typed/overtyped on the command line. By default, hitting the ENTER key alone will clear the line. If DEFENTK is set to OFF, then the last command on the DMLO command line (if any) will be re-executed. This feature is useful, for example, when navigating a database to repeat FIND/OBTAIN NEXT/PRIOR records without having to overtype data on the command line.

This value is initially set at install time and may be subsequently altered by changing the source of parameter module USDTPARM and re-assembling/re-linking same. It can also be switched dynamically at run time with the above SET DEFENTK command.
