KEYS


KEYS is a basic panel command that you can issue from any product panel.

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

  • Change it using PFSHOW, FKA, or KEYS
  • 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 FKA. KEYS/PFSHOW/FKA is the default value assigned to the F14 key.
