Subject: Re: ISPF PF Key Mapping
What if you go into Dialog Test, set breakpoints (DISPLAY, SELECT, VGET,
anything just to get it to stop), run the app, then use the dialog test
functions to see what's going on?

Actually, this is where I started. I went to =7 (dialog test) and put in
the panel name that I was attempting to test. First thing in, once the
panel displayed, I did <PF1> because I had changed the help panel to be
scrollable as it now has more info than will fit on a MOD2. That's when
I found that PF10/11 were UP/DOWN not PF7/8.
So driving the panel from the application and hitting <PF1>, the help
panel came up and sure enough, PF10/11 were the scroll keys, NOT PF7/8.
And the backing program does not set PFKeys, it leaves that entirely to
the user.
So I'm lost. I can't seem to figure out what is changing the scroll keys
to PF10/11 just for the help panels (pick any of our scrollable help
panels, you get the same results).
We are on z/OS 1.7. I also have 1.8 and 1.6 available, but I haven't
gone there to see if we get the same effect. I'm taking the word of
another guy here who has battled this same behavior when he had to make
help panel changes back under 1.4.

Under help / tutorial the function key assignments are
generally these:
F1 / F13 HELP - to get help on how to use tutorial.
F3 / F15 END - to end the tutorial.
F3 / F15 EXIT - to end the tutorial.
F7 / F19 UP or
BACKWARD - to display a higher level list of topics.
F8 / F20 DOWN or
FORWARD - to go on to the next topic (skip).
F10 / F22 LEFT - to display the previous page (back).
F11 / F23 RIGHT - to display the next page, which is the same as
pressing ENTER.
In this mysterious application, are there keylists
defined for the application's own applid? Keylists
can be created outside a panel and then tied to
one or more panels using the "keylist" operand of
the panel definition, so setting keys would not be
visible in the code that drives the displays. Can
you check the panel definition to see if it has a
)PANEL line that includes a KEYLIST(...) entry?
Kind regards,
