I need to force mainfram FOCUS/MVS 7.0.8R to override F3. I know there is a way to do this but the normal '-IF PFKEY IS 'PF03' GOTO ....' statement doesn't do it.

I want to force FIN so an outside vendor cannot do anything else but get out when they do F3.

Right now, if keyed inadvertently, it goes to > prompt. Which, in reality, would allow the vendor to go anywhere security allows.

Thanks

Hi Lanny,

When you do a ? PFKEY is PF03 set to END?

For example:

> > ? pfkey
PF01 = HX PF02 = CANCEL PF03 = END

Try setting PF03 to RETURN, like this:

set pf03 = return

Then your -IF should be respected.

Regards,
Dave

I'm using dialog manager in TSO MVS also. I use -set &pfkey = ' '; just like the documentation says below, but it always either asks me for the value in a prompt or tells me my expression is incomplete. Please help.

In Dialogue Manager, the syntax is

-SET &PFKEY=' ';
where:

&PFKEY
Is a four-character field, whose value is determined by which key the operator presses at run time.

=' ';
Is the allocation of four character spaces for the field.
