I am trying to set up a keylist for my application. I created this:

Code:
<:DOCTYPE DM SYSTEM>
<KEYL
   NAME=MYKEY05>
   <KEYI KEY=F1  CMD=HELP     FKA=YES>HELP
   <KEYI KEY=F09 CMD=X ALL;F /STOP ALL;F COND WORD ALL  FKA=YES>ISOL
   <KEYI KEY=F12 CMD=CANCEL   FKA=YES>CANCEL
</KEYL>


I read about how to use DTL to define one, but from the documentation, it seems you can only assign one word to the command.

from the manual:

Quote:
As an extension to the Dialog Tag Language, the conversion utility supports special ISPF command
syntax for internal-command-name. In this case, the internal-command-name must have these
characteristics:
• 2-9 single-byte characters in length
• The first character must be a ‘>’, ‘:’, or ‘%’
.

so do you have to set up a clist for every stacked command you want to use?

yet, when I edit the SDSF keylist - I just put in the stacked command and it works fine:

Try using the PARM operand:
Code:
<:DOCTYPE DM SYSTEM>
<KEYL
   NAME=MYKEY05>
   <KEYI KEY=F1  CMD=HELP     FKA=YES>HELP
   <KEYI KEY=F09 CMD=X FKA=YES PARM=ALL;F /STOP ALL;F COND WORD ALL>ISOL
   <KEYI KEY=F12 CMD=CANCEL   FKA=YES>CANCEL
</KEYL>


If that does not work, try enclosing the string within quotes.

If the DTL compiler does not like the semicolon, try replacing with &semi;
