PF Key Definitions and Usage

The following table describes the program function keys (PF keys) used in at least one CA XCOM Data Transport CICS menu. No menu supports all the PF keys described in the following table. The PF keys you can use with a specific menu are indicated in the menu's last line.

F1

Enter the CA XCOM Data Transport HELP facility.

F3

Validate data entered on this screen. Retain data entered on this screen in storage. If you are currently at the Primary Option Menu and logged on with a CICS user ID, save the data to the XCOMDFLT file. Return to the previous CA XCOM Data Transport screen. If you are in the Primary Option Menu, display a message and end the CA XCOM Data Transport CICS transaction.

F4

Invoke the Additional Schedule Parameters menu to enter additional parameters. This key is available only on the Receive File from Another System menu, the Send File to Another System menu, the Send Report to Another System menu, and the Submit Job to Another System menu.

Invoke the Allocate New Dataset Parameters menu to enter file creation parameters. This key is available only on the Receive File from Another System menu and the Send File to Another System menu when a file is being created.

F6

Invoke the Extended Length File Names menu to enter long file names (maximum length is 255 characters). This key is available only on the Receive File from Another System menu, the Send File to Another System menu, the Send Report to Another System menu, and the Submit Job to Another System menu.

F7

Scroll back (that is, page up) to display previous file transfers. This key is available only on the Operator Transfer Request Display menu.

F10

Display detailed information for the previous file transfer without returning to the Operator Transfer Request Display menu. This key is available only on the Transfer Request Display menu.

F11

Display detailed information on the next file transfer without returning to the Operator Transfer Request Display menu. This key is available only on the Transfer Request Display menu.

Return to the previous CA XCOM Data Transport screen without retaining data entered on that screen. If you are at the Primary Option Menu, display a message and end the CA XCOM Data Transport CICS transactions.

Enter

Enter validates the parameters entered and branches to another screen based on the data entered. In the Receive File from Another System menu, the Send File to Another System menu, the Send Report to Another System menu, and Submit Job to Another System menu screens, ENTER causes CA XCOM Data Transport CICS to only validate the parameters. No further action is taken without pressing a PF key. On the Transfer Request Display menu, it updates the information displayed on the screen.
