z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

OMVS
In general, the provider of the TSO/3270 application needs to tell the user
whether , , or can be used for ENDPASSTHROUGH.
PA3
Specifies the 3270 key. The key may not be available on some
keyboards.
PFn
Specifies the 3270 function keys 1–9.
PFnn
Specifies the 3270 function keys 10–24.
SEL
Specifies the 3270 Cursor Select key. This key is useful only when the 3270
application creates fields on the 3270 screen that can be selected by a light
pen.
ESCAPE('escape-characters')
Specifies an escape character as the first character in a two-character
sequence that is the EBCDIC equivalent of an ASCII control character (for
example, the EBCDIC “ød” is the equivalent of the ASCII “Ctrl-D”). When an
escape character is typed in the input area, the next character typed is
converted into a special character before it is passed to the shell.
You can enter a string up to eight escape characters, enclosed in single quotes
with no space between them. (Do not use nonprintable EBCDIC characters.)
The default escape character depends on the character conversion table being
used. (See Table 37 on page 855 for a list of default characters and the
conversion tables they are used with.) To enter , for example, type in ød
or øD in the input area.
If the last character in the input area is one of the escape characters, the
character normally appended to the input data is suppressed. For
example, to enter only a with no final , type the string øQø in
the input area, and press .
LINES(n)
Controls the amount of output data the OMVS command keeps for scrolling.
The default is roughly four screenfuls. You can specify that between 25 and
3000 lines should be kept in the output buffer.
PFn(ALARM | NOALARM | AUTOSCROLL | NOAUTOSCROLL | BACKSCR |
BOTTOM | CLOSE | CONTROL | ECHO | NOECHO FWDRETR | HALFSCR |
HELP | HIDE | NOHIDE NEXTSESS | NO | OPEN | PFSHOW | NOPFSHOW |
PREVSESS | QUIT | QUITALL | REFRESH | RETRIEVE | RETURN | SCROLL |
SUBCOMMAND | TOP | TSO)
Customizes the settings for the function keys that you use while working in the
z/OS shell or in subcommand mode. in The n is a one- or two-digit
function key number from 1 to 24. Do not use a leading zero for a one-digit
number. More than one function key can be assigned the same function. For
example, both and are assigned the Help function by default.
All PF keys can be abbreviated using the usual TSO/E rules. For example,
v OPEN can be abbreviated as O, OP, or OPE.
v NEXTSESS can be abbreviated as NE, NEX, NEXT, NEXTS, NEXTSE, or
NEXTSES.
v PFSHOW can be abbreviated as PF, and NOPFSHOW can be abbreviated
as NOPF.
