RE: BPCS look and feel on the AS/400

Tom,

BPCS releases after 2.1 (remember that one folks) used the following function 
keys assignment as a rule of thumb:

F1=Help
F3=Exit
F4=Prompt (if green screen, promptable fields have a '*' next to them)
F5=Refresh
F6=Accept
F7=Backward
F8=Forward
F11=Fold (SFLDROP)
F12=Cancel
F13=Filters (if a subfile/list is used)
F18=Interactive (if program submits a job/report)
        Note, a run time parameter was included on the AS/SET versions in the 
following
        format:
                Run Time Parameter  1  (0=Interactive, 1=Batch)
F23=More actions
F24=More keys

In general, F14 through to F22 are basically down to you but some keys are used 
as 'standard' depending on the type of program:

F18=Jump ... will allow the user to go to a specific order line.
F22=Header ... will display the header file information for a PO or customer 
order

Options (actions) used are as follows:

1=Create
2=Revise
3=Copy
4=Delete
5=Display
6=Print
8=Position to

I think that is it for the main.  If I've missed any out then I am sure other 
list members will contribute.

Ian

Subject: BPCS look and feel on the AS/400


Hi List,

I am writing a system to interface with BPCS on an AS/400.  I would like for 
my interactive programs to have the same look and feel that the users are 
use to in BPCS, so I have the following questions.

Does BPCS use the standard AS/400 function keys (F3-Exit, F4-Prompt, 
F5-Reset, F12-Cancel, etc.)?

Does BPCS use the standard AS/400 options (2-Change, 3-Copy, 4-Delete, 
etc.)?

Does BPCS use "Work With" type programs?

TIA,
            Tommy
