Special Feature Keys

All CA XCOM Data Transport screens permit the use of programmable function keys, most of which are used in a manner consistent with ISPF. CA XCOM Data Transport uses standard ISPF Dialog Manager services and is compatible with the normal ISPF environment. These services include the following keys:

PF1

Invokes online Help from a working screen. PF3 returns you back to the original screen where Help was invoked.

PF2

Activates ISPF split‑screen mode.

PF3

Returns you to the previous screen. Input that is already entered on the current screen is saved. If the current screen is the Primary Option Menu, you are returned to the ISPF panel that first invoked CA XCOM Data Transport.

PF7

Scrolls backward (up) to continue the display for panels with multiple entries.

PF8

Scrolls forward (down) to continue the display for panels with multiple entries.

PF9

Swaps the current screen to the other screen in split screen mode.

PF10

Invokes the Unicode Transfer Information screen, allowing you to enter parameters pertinent to transfers of data in Unicode format.

PF11

Invokes the File Transfer Scheduling Information screen, allowing you to enter file‑scheduling parameters.

PF12

Invokes the File Allocation Information File screen from the Send MVS File To Another System screen. Allowing you to override default and propagated space and DCB values for new z/OS data sets.
