Commands and PFKeys in Control-m


Commands and PFKeys

Commands are specified by typing a command in the COMMAND field and
then pressing Enter, or by pressing a predefined PFKey, or a combination of
both.

It is not necessary to specify the full command name; the shortest unique
abbreviation of the command is sufficient. If the abbreviation is ambiguous,
an appropriate message is displayed in the message area.

IOA commands are flexible; you can change command syntax or provide
aliases (synonyms) to suit your site. Consult your BMC Software technical
support representative if you want to add or change a command syntax. The
examples provided in this chapter exhibit the original command syntax
supplied with this INCONTROL product.

PFKey command assignments can be site-customized. It is possible to define
PFKeys differently for each screen.

Supplied PFKey definitions are consistent throughout most of the screens.
For example: PF08 is used to scroll down (forward) on all INCONTROL
screens where scrolling is possible.
