How to disable unwanted PF keys in panel

[SRI123]

I want to disable all the keys except PF3 & PF4 in my panel. How to do this using keylist?

Thanks

how do you enable a pfkey?

i assume this is your panel and driven by your rexx script.

If not what dbz says then I presume it is a standard ISPF panel in which case just blank out the keys you want to de-activate

I created a panel thru rexx. In that I want to do some process for PF4 and PF3. And I dont want any other key to be enabled. And even if I take this code to other system, same result should come.

I want to disable the keys in the rexx program itself.

Can some one help?

Hello,

In the rexx code, why not just test for wanted/unwanted pfkeys and process accordingly?

When a key you want to use is pressed, do that function - when an unwanted key is pressed, leave the screen as though nothing had been pressed. . . A more friendly "thing to do" might be to show a message saying "unsupported pfkey".

I'll never really get this concept. When a panel is displayed, the only real commands that are supported are END RC=8 or ENTER RC=0, SPLIT, HELP, and, if it contains scrollable areas, the UP and DOWN commands. Since ISPF users are usually familiar with these, why change what they're used to doing?

Anyway, the ZPFnn variables contain the value of the command assigned to that key. You can change them to a null and then use the VPUT service to update them.
