key-type
specifies the type of definition to apply to the function key.
ACT
defines the function key as an action function key. You must specify a key
string with ACT, which must correspond to the name of an NCL procedure.
When you press the action function key, the cursor should normally be
positioned on a message in an OCS window. When the NCL procedure
begins execution, the message in the OCS window is placed in the &$PRM.
MDO variable, which is mapped by the $MSG map. Text in the OCS
command input line is passed as parameters to the NCL procedure. The
system variable &SYS.PARMCNT holds the number of parameters created,
and the system variable &SYS.ALLPARMS holds the parameters in a single
string.
If the cursor is positioned on a message in an OCS window when the function
key is pressed, the A mode indicator appears to the left of the OCS command
input line prompt (=>). Pressing an action function key more than once
results in multiple, outstanding actions, which occur when the NCL
procedures that perform the actions are executed. The A mode indicator
disappears when there are no more outstanding actions.
If the cursor is positioned in the OCS command input line when the function
key is pressed, the A mode indicator does not appear.
CONV
defines the function key as a conversational function key. You can specify any
key string with CONV.
When you press the conversational function key and the associated key string
is either a NonStop NET/MASTER MS command or an NCL procedure,
