Displaying Function Key Prompts

The SAA Common User Access (CUA) standards require that a list of function keys and their functions be displayed at the bottom of a panel. These function key prompts are displayed on the last lines of the physical screen.

The #TRAILER control statement can be used by NCL procedures to nominate lines that appear at the bottom of the panel. The function key prompts are then always displayed at the bottom of the panel regardless of the screen size.
