3 – Examples
1.$ DELETE/KEY/ALL %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF1 has been deleted %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF2 has been deleted %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF3 has been deleted %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF4 has been deleted $ In this example, the user has defined keys PF1 to PF4 in the default state. The DELETE/KEY command deletes all key definitions in the current state, which is the default state. 2.$ DEFINE/KEY PF3 "SHOW TIME" /TERMINATE %DCL-I-DEFKEY, DEFAULT key PF3 has been defined $ <PF3> $ SHOW TIME 14-DEC-2001 14:43:59 . . . $ DELETE/KEY PF3 %DCL-I-DELKEY, DEFAULT key PF3 has been deleted $ <PF3> $ In this example, the DEFINE/KEY command defines the PF3 key on the keypad as SHOW TIME. To delete the definition for the PF3 key, use the DELETE/KEY command. When the user presses PF3, only the system prompt is displayed.
