FKA


FKA (function key area) is a basic panel command that you can issue from any product panel.

FKA changes the display of function keys, alternating between the primary keys, alternate keys, and no display. You can use it to temporarily override the value specified in the User Profile, but it does not change that value. The new value remains in effect until you perform one of the following actions:

  • Change it using the PFSHOW, FKA, or KEYS commands
  • Modify your User Profile
  • End your product session

Important

The alternate keys are displayed only if 24 function keys are specified in ISPF.

This command is synonymous with PFSHOW and KEYS. The FKA/PFSHOW/KEYS function is the default value assigned to the F14 key.
