Note You can also use the PF command to define function key settings for both the Tandem 6530 or
compatible terminal keyboards and the IBM 3270 or compatible terminal keyboards. Refer to the
NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for details on using the PF command.
If you have two OCS windows open, each one can have a unique set of function key
definitions.
Unless you include FK commands in the initial OCS procedure (see “Customizing
Your Initial Operator Profile,” later in this section), your customized function key
definitions only remain in effect for the current OCS session. When you exit from
OCS, any function key assignments made during your OCS session are forgotten.
The five types of function key assignments are defined in Table 4-5.
Table 4-5. Types of Function Key Assignments (Page 1 of 2)
Type Definition
ACT, ncl-proc Specifies an action function key assignment.
Pressing an action function key passes the message on which the cursor is
positioned to the specified NCL procedure for processing. For example, the
following command causes the ZOCHHLPN NCL procedure to process the
contents of the message line on which the cursor is located when you press
the F1 function key on a 6530 keyboard:
FK F1 ACT,ZOCHHLPN
CONV, nnm-cmd Specifies a conversational function key assignment.
Pressing a conversational function key displays the specified NonStop
NET/MASTER MS command on the OCS command input line. The
command string can be added to or modified before you press the ENTER
key to issue it. For example, the following command causes SHOW to be
displayed on the OCS command input line when you press the PF24
function key on a 3270 keyboard:
FK PF24 CONV,SHOW
You can then type in USERS or OCS or whatever SHOW command you
wish to issue and press the ENTER key.
IMM [, nnm-cmd ] Specifies an immediate function key assignment.
Pressing an immediate function key displays the specified NonStop
NET/MASTER MS command on the OCS command input line and executes
it immediately. For example, the following command causes the SHOW
LINKS command to be executed immediately when you press the F13
function key on a 6530 keyboard:
FK F13 IMM,SHOW LINKS
If no command is included in the IMM definition, the function key acts as an
ENTER key and issues whatever command is currently displayed on the
OCS command input line.
