RE: Function Key on Subfile Program

I always try to use a separate indicator area in all my display files, even
more when I use subfiles, and have an INDDS data structure. I usually
define/enable F3 at the file level.

Second, using position 369 to get the last key pressed is a good practice,
that makes you save a lot of indicators for function keys in your program.
You set them in WRITEs using that DS. I always define a variable like
"lastKey" that just after an EXFMT I retrieve and save immediately. Then
this is assigned any other value within your loop.

"Forcing" the value for the F5 key, you should manage that within the logic
of your program by setting "lastKey" somewhere in the middle so that when
reading it again you will go to your refresh routine. And I always build a
"function" like:

rc = displayScreen(...);
lastKey = rc;
if lastKey = KEY_12;
lastKey = KEY_F5;
elseif lastKey = KEY_F3;
leave;
endif;

rc here could have other values different from the function keys so you can
consider those as "actions" if they are not in the range of the F key
values.

Then, below you manage to handle the refresh routine and then redisplay it
again.

That is how I always do it and it works perfectly well.
