RE: Defining a function key...

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, there aren't standard indicators for the other function keys, you
have to use a general-purpose indicator.

Example... in your DDS, you might have:
      A                                      PAGEUP(51)

Then in your RPG, you check for *IN51 to determine if Page Up was pressed.
It's too bad that IBM didn't create something similar to the *INKx keys
for things like this as well :(

In fact, the reason I originally learned how to use the AID byte was
because it was the only way (that I knew of) to check PageUp/PageDown, etc
on the S/36.
