The @P-KEYS statement is used in interactive mode to load the keyboard's programmable keys (P keys) with a default assignment predefined by EDT or display the EDT predefined default assignment.
Operation | Operands | F mode, L mode |
@P-KEYS | [SHOW] | |
SHOW | This operand displays the predefined EDT default assignment which is loaded into the P keys with the @P-KEYS statement. If |
In batch mode, the @P-KEYS statement is ignored.
When EDT is started, any existing P key assignment remains unchanged. Similarly, the current assignment is retained when EDT is terminated.
Once the @P-KEYS statement has been executed, the P keys are assigned statements which cause the following actions (output from the @P-KEYS SHOW statement):
If the P keys have already been loaded with the default EDT settings when the @PAR SPLIT statement is used to modify the division of the screen or the @VDT statement is used to change the format at a 9763 terminal then the @P-KEYS statement must be entered again if the user wants to continue working with the standard EDT assignment for the P keys (this is necessary because the statement sequences stored in the P keys refer to absolute positions on the screen).
If @P-KEYS is entered at a terminal without P keys then the statement is rejected with the error message EDT5366.
