PCA Command
Changes the current key definition state. Key definition states
are used by keypad keys defined with the DEFINE/KEY command.
Format
SET KEY
1 – Description
When you define keypad keys using the DEFINE/KEY command, you
can assign a specific state name to each key definition. The
PCA-defined state names are DEFAULT, GOLD, BLUE, CONTRACT,
EXPAND, and MOVE. If the assigned state is not set when you
press the key, the command string to which the key is bound is
not processed. You use the SET KEY command to change the current
state so that keys for the specified state are processed.
If you do not use the SET KEY command, the current keypad state
is DEFAULT.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /LOG
/LOG
/NOLOG
Controls whether a log message is displayed indicating that the
key state has been set. The default is /LOG.
2.2 /STATE
/STATE=state-name
/NOSTATE
Specifies the keypad state to be set. The state name can be any
alphanumeric string. If you omit the /STATE qualifier or use
/NOSTATE, the current state is left unchanged. The default state
is DEFAULT.
3 – Examples
PCAC> SET KEY/STATE=BLUE
The SET KEY command sets the current state to BLUE. After
entering this command, when you press a keypad key with a BLUE
definition, that definition is executed even if you do not
press the PF4 key first. (The PF4 key is the PCA-defined BLUE
key.)
