Modifying Action Commands

The Action commands can be modified according to your needs. The Action commands are placed in the ESFHPRMx modules as separate CSECTs. Each of the CSECTs must end with a DC X31'FF' to indicate end-of-table.

CSECT

Panels Affected

ESFHFACT

File display panels.

ESFHPACT

Printer display panels.

ESFHNACT

NJE display panels.

ESFHVACT

Virtual printer display panels.

Each action command is built over a skeleton:

DC

Function

CL1'Q'

CA Spool command to be issued. This value must never be changed.

CL6'ESF888'

Expected reply to command. This value must never be changed.

CL1'W'

Action command entered by the user

XL1'06'

Length of command alias

CL8'SESAME'

Command alias

When a user enters the action command W or SESAME, the menu system issues the CA Spool command Q for whatever item was displayed on the line where the action command was entered and verify that the response is an ESF888 message.
