A set of program function (PF) key definitions is maintained for each BMC Software product line and the General Service LOG DISPLAY application, so that PF key usage is unique to each product. You can use the following procedure to modify PF key definitions.

  • Use the General Service KEYS option.
  • Enter KEYS on the COMMAND line of the current application, and use the displayed panel to make changes.
