Changing PF key assignments

Use the following procedure to change the commands or labels assigned to the program function (PF) keys. The changes apply to your current session, but you can also save them in your profile for use in future sessions.

To change PF key assignments

  1. Enter KEYS on the COMMAND line, or enter K (KEYS option) on the Primary Option Menu.The Program Function keys panel displays current definitions for the primary PF keys (PF1 through PF12). Pressing Enter toggles the display between the primary keys and the alternate keys (PF13 through PF24).
  2. To change the command assigned to a PF key, select the key and perform one of the following actions:

    • Enter a new value over the displayed value.

      You can enter any valid system or MainView product command. You can also enter any value that is valid in the first input field of a display (such as the COMMAND, OPTION, or SERV field).

    • Assign NOP to disable the PF key.
    • Blank out the current value to restore the default definition. See Program-function-PF-key-definitions.

  3. If you want to change a key's label, enter one of the following values in that key's LABEL field at the bottom of the panel:

    • Enter the label that you prefer.

    • Enter NOSHOW to suppress showing this PF key on panels.

      Note

      The ISPF PFSHOW command tells ISPF to display the PF keys on panels. Setting a key's label to NOSHOW prevents only that key from being displayed.

    • Enter BLANK to display the key name (such as PF1) on panels but not the key's label.

    Note

    If no label is assigned to a key, the label becomes the first eight characters of the key's assigned command.

  4. (optional) If you want to save your changes for future sessions, enter the SAVE command on the COMMAND line.The PF key definition is stored as a member of your BBPROF data set.

    Note

    An exception exists if the BBIPFK member contains the MASTER keyword for a shared BBPROF. In that case, you cannot save your changes.

  5. Press the END (PF3) key to exit.Any changes that you made will take effect immediately.
