The legends next to the PF keys show as needed. For example, if the table display contains more rows and columns than are shown on one screen, the legends next to PF7 through PF11 display. If the table display is shown on one screen, the legends for these PF keys do not display.

If you are on the first screen and page backward (PF7), the legend changes from Page bwd to First Page and is highlighted. Similarly, if you try to page forward past the last row, the legend for PF8 changes from Page fwd to a highlighted Last page.
