Assigning Commands To Keys

CA IDMS Masterkey allows the user to assign a command or a series of commands to PF and PA keys. PF keys 1 through 24 and PA keys 1 through 3 are CA IDMS Masterkey controlled whenever terminal processing reaches the CA IDMS/DC prompt, Prompt Mode screen (if in Prompt Mode), or the CA IDMS Masterkey System Level Menu screen (if in Menu Mode).

When you invoke a PF or PA key under these conditions, the string associated with the PF or PA key is invoked as if you entered a task stream from the CA IDMS/DC prompt and pressed the ENTER key.
