NEXT Moves to the next page in a multiple page application screen.
PREV Moves to the previous page in a multiple page application screen.
PRNT Prints the currently shown screen image on the printer specified when
the application was installed. This is identical to the F14 key in the
Pathmaker product.
RCVR Recovers the requester's screen, showing it as the requester last showed
it. This is identical to the SF14 key in the Pathmaker product.
RETN Returns to the named or previously called requester (if a specific
requester is not named). Each requester can have many named RETN
keys and many unnamed RETN keys (although having only one
unnamed return key is most common). There are 24 function keys
available for use on the 3270 terminals, and 32 keys available on the
Tandem 6520 and 6530 terminals.
If you enter a requester name in the Requester/Service Name column,
that requester must be in the call stack of the requester for which this
Function Key Assignment screen refers.
For example, if the requester is X and your application has this structure:
A
/ \
B C
/ \
D E
/
X
X can specify a return to A, B, or D. X should not specify a return to C or
E.
If you name the entry menu (A in this example) as the Requester/Service
here, you have specified the equivalent of the SF16 key in the Pathmaker
product.
If you leave the Requester/Service Name column blank for this key, the
RETN key returns to the requester from which this one was called (D in
this example), as F16 does in the Pathmaker product.
SEND Invokes a service by sending an service request message to the named
service. Name the service you want to invoke in the Requester/Service
Name column and later match its parameters in the SEND Parameter
Definition screen by using F10. You cannot use SEND from a MENU or
DB requester.
USER Use this action to designate a function key that is to be entirely controlled
by SCREEN COBOL code that you write. You must include the SCREEN
COBOL code for the function key in the ?SECTION USER-PRE-
