How can I force the function key assignments to be displayed at the bottom of my panel?

Question & Answer


Question

I am writing a dialog, and I want to display the function keys so that the users can see what the keys are assigned to. How do I force the keys to be displayed?

Answer

The ISPOPF program controls the function key display. From a REXX dialog, enter:

  Address ISPEXEC "SELECT PGM(ISPOPF) PARM(ON) NOFUNC"

to turn on the function key display. To turn the function key display off, enter:

 Address ISPEXEC "SELECT PGM(ISPOPF) PARM(OFF) NOFUNC"

Individual users can use the FKA command to control whether or not the function key area is displayed.
