Description

The SET FUNCTION command provides the capability of reprogramming the function keys of the terminal. The SET PCKEYS command must be ON prior to programming function keys. When specifying a function key to be programmed, SET FUNCTION accepts the function key number <expN>, or the function key label <expC>. The character string assigned to a function key can be up to 50 characters long and may contain only one command.

Reprogramming the function keys has no effect on their standard usage within full screen forms based operations. Terminal function keys can only be used at the interactive prompt.

Example

set function 2 to "modify command "
set function [PF1] to "run show users"
