%K and %KP - Simulate PF- and PA-Key

%K

nn

Pn

These terminal commands can be used to simulate the terminal function (PF, ENTER) and program attention (PA) keys. Before a key can be simulated, it must have been made sensitive using the SET KEY statement.

Command Function
%Knn

Simulates the terminal function key numbered nn (PF1 to PF48). This permits PF-keys 13-24 to be assigned to PF-keys 1-12, or the activation of PF-keys not available on the keyboard used.

This terminal command also makes function keys available in batch mode.

%K0 Simulates the ENTER key.
%KPn Simulates the program attention key numbered n (PA1 to PA3) (see %Knn).
