Program function (PF) key definitions
A set of program function (PF) key definitions (also referred to as function keys or F keys) is maintained for each
MainView
product family and the General Services LOG application. These definitions make PF key usage unique to each product.
The key definitions are maintained as members of a site or a user's BBPROF data set. The member name is xxxx PFK, where xxxx can be any of the following values:
- CICS, DB2, AO, or IMS for the product applications
- BBI for PF key defaults if no product application PF key members exist
- LOG for log display defaults
The following table describes the default PF key definitions.
