Use SET PFnn TAB to set values for the TAB function.
PFnn
is the program function key to perform the TAB function for your virtual
machine.
n identifies the tab settings that you want to associate with the PF key.
1. If your keyboard has 24 PF keys, specify the PF key number, nn, as a value
from 1 (or 01) to 24. If your keyboard has only 12 PF keys, specify nn as a
value from 1 (or 01) to 12.
2. SET PFnn TAB is not supported on a 3101 device. The 3101 has a tab function
incorporated in its hardware.
3. SET PFnn TAB is an immediate (nondisplaying) command: its function is
processed immediately upon pressing the appropriate program function key. If
you insert the keyword DELAY after the PFnn operand, it is ignored; the
program function is processed immediately.
4. To ensure the definition of a PF key for the TAB function, you must start with the
keyword TAB, followed by at least one blank, followed by at least one tab
setting that you want to associate with the PF key. The lack of a tab setting
identifies the string TAB as PF key data.
5. If you press a PF key that has not been set, the following message is displayed:
PFnn UNDEFINED
HCP026E Operand missing or invalid
SET PFnn TAB
