PF The PF command defines function keys for IBM 3270 or compatible terminals, and
displays function key definitions. You can assign a lengthy command string to a
function key using this command. This can prove useful when you are typing lengthy
commands, such as ROUTE commands. An installation can define global function
keys that become the defaults for all users. An individual user can define local
function keys while in OCS.
Entering the PF command with no operands displays a list of all current function key
definitions, including the definition of the ENTER key. If you enter this command
from the OCS command input line, it lists only the assignments in effect for the current
window. You can remove a definition from a function key by assigning it a null value.

and you cannot modify it.
