As already mentioned the formatted command prompting facility of LANSA uses a standard feature of the IBM i operating system.
When a command is being displayed in a formatted prompt it is under the control of a program provided by IBM and thus has different function key assignments. These are:
Key | Description / Use |
|---|---|
3 | End/cancel command prompt. If used command prompting is canceled and the command remains unchanged by the prompt. A message is issued to indicate the command was canceled. |
12 | Display previous prompt screen. Where a command prompt uses multiple screens use this function key to re-display the previous screen. |
16 | Prompting is complete. Use this function key when the desired changes have been made and there is not need to display any following prompt screen. |
5 | Revert to default values/Refresh Use this function key to cause all parameters specified for a command to revert to their default values. |
