Details

You can use SETFKEY only in entries that have a DISPLAY window containing fields or text. You cannot use it to assign function key settings in windows that use BLOCK to display block menus.


Example

Use FKEYNAME to return the name of a particular function key and GETFKEY to return the command that is assigned to the function key. If the command is not CANCEL, then SETFKEY assigns the CANCEL command to the function key.

INIT:
   keyname=fkeyname(1);
   command=getfkey(keyname);
   if (command ne 'CANCEL') then
      call setfkey(keyname,'CANCEL');
return;
