I agree that DISPLAY LOCK is the way to got and is about the only thing that works. .resp=enter seems to work except that you cannot see the panel.
thanks everyone for your responses. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jürgen Kehr Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 12:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: can the ENTER key be simulated in an ISPF panel Hello, I'm not sure what you are planning to do: if you want to display some kind of in-process messages, then DISPLAY LOCK is correct : the usage of PF keys doesn't make sense, because your REXX is running, it has the control at that time. Only ATTN key makes sense to interrupt the running REXX, this may controlled by a REXX SIGNAL. In any other case the panel would only flash up for a very short moment, anyway the user will not have time enough to press any key - there you might use NONDISPL ENTER.
