Display Format of Function-Key Lines

Command	Function
`%YN`	Displays the function-key lines in normal tabular Software AG format.
`%YS`	Displays the function-key lines in sequential format, and only showing those keys to which names have been assigned (PF1=value,PF2=value,etc.).
`%YP`	Displays the function-key lines in PC-like sequential format; corresponds to `%YS`, except that "F`n`=" instead of "PF`n`=" is displayed before the names.

Single- and Double-Line Display

Command	Function
`%YA`	All-line display. Displays both function-key lines.
`%YH`	Half display. Displays only one function-key line; for normal tabular display mode (`%YN`), this is the line with the function-key names; for the other two display modes (`%YS` and `%YP`), this is the upper line to be displayed.

Positioning of Function-Key Lines

Command	Function
`%YB`	Displays the function-key lines at the bottom of the screen.
`%YT`	Displays the function-key lines at the top of the screen.
`%Ynn`	Displays the function-key lines on line `nn` on the screen.
`%Y-nn`	Displays the function-key lines on the `nn`th line from the bottom of the screen. If the line number `nn` or -`nn` is not within the current screen, the function-key lines will not be displayed.

Range of Displayed Function Keys

Command	Function
`%YF`	Displays the first range of function keys (that is, usually 1 to 12).
`%YL`	Displays the last range of function keys (that is, usually 13 to 24).
`%YX`	Is used to toggle-switch between the two displays.

Intensified or Reverse Video Display of Function-Key Lines

Command	Function
`%YI`	Displays the function-key lines intensified. Enter `%YI` again to switch back from intensified to non-intensified display.
`%YV`	Displays the function-key lines in reverse video. Enter `%YV` again to switch back from reverse video display to normal display.

Coloring of Function-Key Lines

Command Function

Command	Function
`%Y=color-code(s)`	Displays the function-key lines in the specified colors. The `color-codes` you can specify are the same as with the session parameter `CD`). You can specify up to three `color-codes`: the first `color-code` refers to the first function-key line (the one displaying the function-key numbers), the second `color-code` refers to the second function-key line (the one displaying the function-key names), and the third `color-code` refers to the background of both lines. For example, `%Y=GRPIYE` would cause the characters in the first line to be displayed in green, the characters in the second line in pink, and the background of both lines in yellow.


                     %Y=color-code(s)

For example, %Y=GRPIYE would cause the characters in the first line to be displayed in green, the characters in the second line in pink, and the background of both lines in yellow.
