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, text
defines the function key as a conversational function key with the associated
text. The text should correspond to the name of a NonStop NET/MASTER
MS command.
When you press the function key, NonStop NET/MASTER MS displays the
text in the OCS command input line. You can then modify the text, or add text
to it. You can then execute the command by pressing the ENTER key.
IMM
defines the function key as an immediate function key with no associated text.
Defining a function key in this way causes it to act as an ENTER key. When
you press the function key, any command in the OCS command input line is
executed.
IMM, text
defines the function key, explicitly, as an immediate function key with the
associated text. The text should correspond to the name of a NonStop
NET/MASTER MS command.
When you press the function key, NonStop NET/MASTER MS processes the
text immediately. The text is not displayed in the OCS command input line
and you cannot modify it.
PREF, text
defines the function key as a prefix function key with the associated text. The
text should correspond to part of a NonStop NET/MASTER MS command.
