You need the PRINT keyword in your display file's DDS. This can be assigned at either the File or Record level.


That being said, this seems to only apply to dumb terminals (twinax). I ran a test on a display that did not have the PRINT keyword. On an iSeries Access session, IA printed the screen (using the Print key, not the menu option). The same panel on a twinax device returned the "Function key not allowed."

There's something that controls whether function keys are allowed in a program
and I forgot what it is, looked for it and can't find it. It's a simple yes
or no. Do you know what it is?

Some of our custom programs return a "Function key not allowed" when using the
print button on a dumb terminal keyboard and some programs perform the desired host
print. I want to enable host printing for all our programs.

Thanks in advance.
