This document covers the following topics:


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 Fn= instead of PFn= 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 nnth 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
%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.
