 Using system’s some functional keys with Help screen
AS/400, AS/400 Display File, iSeries, iSeries programming commands
Dear Expert,

To create Help for Display File Applications I am using HLPRCD (instead HLPPNLGRP), HLPARA keywords. In addition, I am using HLPFILE with help text for different options. For each Help record I have included HLPCMDKEY keyword and a couple keys that are typical for each Help. Example. HLPSEQ HLPCMDKEY CA01 CF03 CF12 But I would like to add system’s some additional functional keys (for instance: F13=Information Assistant, F14=Print Help). I tried doing it by the same way, but it doesn’t work (for panel group it working). Where I am wrong, and how it working with HLPRCD and HLPARA keywords? Thank you in advance,

Yuriy Umanskiy, iSeries programmer



Software/Hardware used:

I tried doing it by the same way,…

You tried doing ‘what’ the same way?

When your application receives <F13>, you would run GO INFO. When your application receives <F14>, you would call your routines to print your help text. That’s essentially “doing it the same way” that the system does it.

How are you doing it?
