CL Command Reference - SETKBDMAP
CL Command List > SETKBDMAP Reference
Description:
The Set Keyboard Map (SETKBDMAP) command allows the user to override the PA (Program Attention) and PF (Program Function) key assignment defaults provided by the system.
This command assigns the specified F-to-PF map to the device where the command was entered (if it is a 3270 display station device) or to the 3270 display station specified if the user has authority to that device.
Examples:
SETKBDMAP PF1(*F1) PF2(*F2) PF3(*F3) PF4(*F4) PF5(*HLP3270) PF9(*HELP)
This command reassigns the keyboard primarily for an application that makes frequent use of the 5250 CF keys F1, F2, F3, F4. All other PF key sequences are set to the default shown on the command prompt. The above command is started in the program that started the application (thus tailoring the display station to whatever application is run).
