Clicking Style displays a
Function
pull-down menu instead of the function
keys array. This mode of operation continues through the remainder of your
session or until you click Style again.
Notes:
1. An exception is the sign-on panel. The function keys are not available
on this panel, and you must use the
General
pull-down menu and the
keys that are supplied there.
2. On the other panels, all of the function keys are posted, although some
of them do not have actions associated with them.
Help
General Help
and
Field Context-Sensitive Help
are the two types of help
that are available to the user.
v You can request General Help through the Help pull-down menu or
button. To do this, select the Help option or click the Help button,
respectively. This has the effect of first moving the cursor to row 1 and
column 1 on the display before displaying the help. Since row 1 and
column 1 are likely to be context insensitive, the General Help panel
should appear.
v To access the Field Context-Sensitive help, place a ? character in
position 1 of the input field. Only in the first position is the ? character
interpreted as a command to move the cursor to this input field. Because
the ? is an escape command, this means the ? is
not
left in the input
field on return from the function key button action. In essence, the ?
means to move the cursor
here
, then whatever other button action you
request acts after the move occurs.
Along the bottom of most windows is another series of buttons. These include the
following:
Enter button
Clicking Enter is the same as pressing the Enter key.
Page Up button
Clicking Page Up scrolls up (back) one display.
Page Down button
Clicking Page Down scrolls down (forward) one display.
Function key buttons (F1-F24)
Depending on which style you are currently using, function key buttons
might not be displayed at the bottom of the display. The default for a
session is to display the function key buttons at the bottom of the display. If
you press the Style button, however, these buttons are moved to a
Functions
menu pull-down instead of being shown at the bottom of the
display. This saves display space in addition to being displayed faster.
Using the menu boxes:
A series of
menu boxes
is located along the top of most
AS/400 windows. The type of boxes available varies with the type of AS/400
window you are displaying. The sign-on panel displays the
General
and
Help
menus but not the
Functions
menu. If a menu box has only one selectable item in
it, it is shown as a button instead of as a menu box. You might see menu boxes like
those in Figure 210 on page 341.
