For enhanced operating convenience, you can assign a frequently used terminal command to a function key. The following methods exist:
Within a program, you can assign terminal commands to function
keys by using the statement SET
KEY
.
In the programming environment, you can use the system command
KEY
to assign a terminal
commands to a function key.
Function-key assignments can also be made by the Natural
administrator via the profile parameter KEY
.
Note:
Assignments made
with the system command KEY
are totally independent
of assignments made with a SET KEY
statement in a program.
Pressing the CLEAR key has the same effect as the
terminal command %%
.
You can use the ESC key instead of the CLEAR key - unless another function is assigned to ESC in the terminal database SAGtermcap. Further information on SAGtermcap is provided in the section Natural Termcap Utility in the Tools and Utilities documentation.
