PF Key assignment

The scheduler panel maintains separate program function (PF) keys from your normal ISPF key assignments. Enter KEYS at the command prompt to display or change the current assignment.

You can assign a PF key to a command that you use regularly; for example, to display the ready list. To ensure that the command will be executed correctly regardless of HCL Workload Automation for Z panel it is entered from, assign the PF key like this:

   PF5  ===> ;=4.1.cpu1

where the semicolon (;) is your ISPF command delimiter.

You can assign PF keys separately for each panel. For example, if you regularly use the application description panel, you can assign PF keys to the OPER and RUN commands. The PF keys that you assign for a particular panel are in effect only for that panel; in other parts of the panel, your standard PF keys for HCL Workload Automation for Z are in effect.

It is recommended that you do not alter the key assignments for PF1 (HELP), or PF12 (RETRIEVE). PF12 (RETRIEVE) returns the command you last executed to the command prompt; press PF12 again, and the command before that is returned. A stack of approximately 25 commands is maintained.

In support of the PFSHOW command, the PF KEY DEFINITIONS AND LABELS panel lets you optionally assign labels to the PF key definitions. A label is used for display in place of the corresponding definition when the user issues the PFSHOW command.

When you enter the PFSHOW command from HCL Workload Automation for Z panels, the labels displayed at the bottom of ISPOPT3B - PF key definitions and labels are presented on HCL Workload Automation for Z panels. To remove the display from your panels, enter PFSHOW OFF.
