Overriding PFkeys

Postby Quasar » Sun Apr 07, 2013 9:37 am

Hi everyone,

I have written the following code to override the default ISPF Key assignments. I would like PF7(Scroll-Up) and PF8(Scroll-Down) to be handled by my application. However, the PF07 and PF08 keys still default to UP and DOWN.

   ZPF7 = 'PREV'
   ZPF8 = 'NEXT'
   Address Ispexec "ADDPOP"
   Address Ispexec "VPUT (ZPF7,ZPF8) PROFILE"
   Say 'VPUT RC: ' RC
   Address Ispexec "DISPLAY PANEL(DYNAREA)"
   DISPLAY_RC = RC
   ADDRESS ISPEXEC "REMPOP"
   RETURN


At this point, I do not wish to define a new keylist with an APPLID. I tried searching the forum and other articles on the Internet, to override Pfkeys. But, I think I am missing something. Below is my ISPF Panel WYSIWIG code.

And if your application falls over, the user looses his or her PF7/8 settings.

Don't mess around with PF key settings, unless you create your own keylist or set the code up to run under a new APPLID:

parse value source with . . moi .

"ispexec vget (zapplid)"
if zapplid \= 'OOPS' then
  do
    "ispexec select cmd(%"moi {any parms}") newappl(OOPS)"
    exit
  end

Thanks Pedro, it worked ZPF07 and ZPF08. I will now create a new key-list and run the application under my APPLID.
