PFKEY

Default:	Default Windows key definitions (WIN)
Valid in:	configuration file, SAS invocation
Windows specifics:	all

PRIMARY

maps F1 through F12 to the mainframe primary settings for PF1 through PF12 and SHF F1 through SHF F12 to PF13 through PF24. The right mouse button (RMB) is mapped to MB2. If you have only 10 function keys, F11, F12, SHF F11, and SHF F12 are not available and are not shown in the KEYS window.

Following are the primary mainframe key definitions:

PC Key	Mainframe Definition	Key	Mainframe Definition
F1	mark	SHF F1	help
F2	smark	SHF F2	zoom
F3	unmark	SHF F3	zoom off; submit
F4	cut	SHF F4	pgm; recall
F5	paste	SHF F5	rfind
F6	store	SHF F6	rchange
F7	prevwind	SHF F7	backward
F8	next	SHF F8	forward
F9	pmenu	SHF F9	output
F10	command	SHF F10	left
F11	keys	SHF F11	right
F12	undo	SHF F12	home
RMB	zoom off; submit

ALTERNATE

maps F1 through F12 to the alternate mainframe key settings. That is, F1 through F12 maps to PF13 through PF24. The result is that F1 through F12 are equivalent to SHF F1 through SHF F12. The right mouse button (RMB) is mapped to MB2. If you have only 10 function keys, F11 and F12 are unavailable and are not shown in the KEYS window. F13 through F24 are mapped to F1 through F12 if your keyboard has only 12 function keys instead of 24.

Following are the alternate mainframe key definitions:

PC Key	Mainframe Definition	Key	Mainframe Definition
F1	help	F7	backward
F2	zoom	F8	forward
F3	zoom off; submit	F9	output
F4	pgm; recall	F10	left
F5	rfind	F11	right
F6	rchange	F12	home
		RMB	zoom off; submit

SAA

maps F1 through F12 to the IBM SAA values for CUAPF1 through CUAPF12 and SHF F1 through SHF F12 to CUAPF13 through CUAPF24. The right mouse button (RMB) is mapped to MB2. If you have only 10 function keys, F11, F12, SHF F11, and SHF F12 are unavailable and are not shown in the KEYS window.

Note:   SAA stands for System Application Architecture, which is a framework for application development and is used across IBM systems. CUA (Common User Access) is a part of SAA that defines the user interface and components that should be identical across applications.  

Following are the IBM SAA key definitions:

PC Key	Mainframe Definition	Key	Mainframe Definition
F1	help	SHF F1	cut
F2	keys	SHF F2	paste
F3	zoom off; submit	SHF F3	store
F4	home	SHF F4	mark
F5	pgm; recall	SHF F5	unmark
F6	zoom	SHF F6	smark
F7	backward	SHF F7	left
F8	forward	SHF F8	right
F9	prevcmd	SHF F9	rfind
F10	pmenu	SHF F10	rchange
F11	command	SHF F11	undo
F12	cancel	SHF F12	next
RMB	zoom off; submit

WIN

specifies to use the default key definitions for the SAS System under Windows. For a list of key definitions, open the KEYS window. WIN is the default.

Details

Use the PFKEY system option when you do not want the default SAS System key definitions under Windows but instead want to use other key mappings (for example, the mappings used by the SAS System under OS/390).

Note that the function key values shown in the previous key map tables are for the base SAS windows only. Other windowing SAS products, such as SAS/AF software, have other key definitions.

If you do not specify the PFKEY system option, or if you specify an invalid value, the SAS System loads the default Windows key definitions.
