These default PF keys are panel-specific; that is, they are specifically assigned
to every panel to correspond to that panel's particular functionality. For
example, some panels contain only one panel of information and do not scroll
backward and forward. Therefore, they are not supplied with PF keys [PF7] /
[PF19] (Backward) and [PF8] / [PF20] (Forward). Other panels belong to a
"series" of related panels that are all on the same "level." These panels,
therefore, are supplied with PF keys [PF5] / [PF17] (Switch Backward) and
[PF6] / [PF20] (Switch Forward) to scroll through the series. Panels that do
not belong to a series are not assigned these PF keys.
Every panel, however, is assigned PF keys [PF1] / [PF13] (Help), [PF3] /
[PF15] (Quit) and [PF12] / [PF24] (Exit).
Although these PF key settings are hard-coded as defaults, they can be
changed by the user or the System Administrator at any time during the
session, either for the entire CUI transaction or for a specific panel. Setting PF
keys is discussed in the "Common User Interface" chapter of the CA CIS
Administration Guide.
Available Command Types
When using File Management, there are three types of commands that are
available: long, short or special.
Long Commands
Long commands further subdivide into three categories: global, immediate,
and local:
• Global commands are issued from any panel running under the CUI
transaction. Control is transferred to a different panel.
You can use global commands to move around File Management panels or
to customize your CUI transaction. For example, you can use the DYNAM
MENU global command to transfer to the File Management main menu
panel (CAYD-0000) from anywhere within the CUI transaction, or you can
use the CUI QUERY STATUS global command to transfer to the CAICUI
Session Status Selection Panel (CUI-S000).
