Keyboard functions

In the BMC AMI Ops environment, many key functions are the same as they are in ISPF.

For example, the END, DOWN, UP, LEFT, and RIGHT keys are defined and function the same way in both environments.

Interface

The Enter key performs multiple functions. You can use it to refresh data in a view if you have not cursor-selected any field and if you do not have any commands entered. If you have multiple windows open, the data is refreshed in all the windows.

You can use the Enter key to execute commands once you have typed them in the primary command field or line command column. If you have multiple windows open, a command is executed only in the window where the cursor was last active.

If you press Enter after cursor-selecting a field with a highlighted header, a hyperlink is executed, taking you to a view containing related information.

If you press Enter after cursor-selecting a field that contains summarized data (a field in a summary view), you will access a detail view displaying all the data that was summarized in the first view. Most summary views provide a hyperlink to detailed views, displaying the data that was summarized. Typically, the detail view is hyperlinked to from the count field.
