Function Key Text
Posted: 23 May 2019, 00:28
Hi,
in our 5250 screens we often have to use abbreviations for function key texts - just because of screen width limitations.
Is it possible to say axes to automatically add the complete text when displaying the function keys.
Example:
In the 5250-Screen we e.g. only display F8 oder F8=For or F8=Fwd H when we mean F8=Forward.
Can we tell aXes to automatically display "Forward" or "F8=Forward" when finding such abbreviations?
Unfortunately we cannot simply check for F8 because sometimes this function key is used for other functionality than paging - we have to scan the function key text.
Many thanks in advance,
Joerg
