Hi..

I am writing an ISPF panel and am using it from REXX. I am able to change the pf key labels and the actions using the VPUT for ZPFXX and ZPFLXX variables. Now I am lookiing for a way to completely hide some PF keys like I would like a way so that I can make the panel not to display a particular PF keys lets say PF1. Please suggest me the best way to do this.

Thanks
Ramesh.

I believe you will have to define your own KEYLIST for this, or code the PFKEY display as part of your own panel.

Thanks for the response Ofer.

I am not very comfortable defininf KEYLIST, can you please throw some light on what you are referring to when you say code my own PFKEY display.

Thanks
Ramesh.

Instead of using ISPF's keys display, put the keys in your panel source.

Thanks Ofer,

So basically we have to hard code the PF keys on the panel on our own and then have the functionalty coded for the keys as needed.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks
Ramesh.

Yes. Don't forget to make sure that your PFSHOW setting is OFF (use ZPFSHOW).
