Overrule Function Key script

[Theo de Bruin]

I want to overrule the usage of a certain Function key by using a script
e.g. like this (only this does not work )

IF ( ENV.key == "F20" ) {CALL MYPROG PARM('PARM1' 'PARM1'')}

Any suggestions how to do this with the corerct syntax?

Hi Theo

Having this code in the OnLeave for the Screen worked for me:

axescallpgm1.png (84.84 KiB) Viewed 13853 times

Code: Select all

if (ENV.key == "F4") {
 TABLEMANAGER.callProgram("CLTEST","G14TEMP",
          {type:"alpha",len:10,value:"QGPL      "} );
 ENV.key === null;
}

and the test code for my CL (G14TEMP/CLTEST) was:

Code: Select all

PGM        PARM(&LIB)                     
DCL        VAR(&LIB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)  
DSPLIB     LIB(&LIB) OUTPUT(*PRINT)       
ENDPGM 

but remember that the Call will be executed "in parallel/submitted" by another job, in the aXes subsystem, under the aXes user, not in this job/interactive/session.
The ENV.key === null; is effectively stopping the key to be sent to the 5250 session.

Hi Dino,

Thank you for this solution, but this only for AxesW3, and not for AxesJSM ?

As I'm getting this error when using AxesJSM

AXES.TableManager._oncallProgramOK: Error trapped - Attempt to invoke /agi/lua5/extservice_6.lua failure trapped by _oncallProgramFail

Should we then need to use the connector.call extension in Axes instead?

Regards,
Theo

Hi Theo,

Yes, if JSM, then instead of the:

Code: Select all

TABLEMANAGER.callProgram("CLTEST","G14TEMP",
          {type:"alpha",len:10,value:"QGPL      "} );

you will need to use the connector call. I do not have a working example using that...
if you get one running, please share.

kind regards,
