Aliases for Formatted Panel Functions

All function values for formatted panels can be assigned alternate (alias) names. Aliases allow for user-designated abbreviations (for example, L for LIST). Aliases also permit alternate values such as CHANGE for UPD. The only restrictions are that the alias names must be eight characters or less, and must not conflict with a function or other alias names.

The following table is a list of formatted panel function values and some alias names that are distributed with the product:
