Commands are entered 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 enter 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. If you want to add or change a command syntax, consult BMC Customer Support. 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 assign PFKeys differently for each screen. To change PFKey command assignments, see your INCONTROL administrator.
Supplied PFKey definitions are consistent throughout most of the screens. For example: PF08/PF20 is used to scroll down (forward) on all INCONTROL screens where scrolling is possible.

If you type text in the COMMAND field and press a PFKey, the text in the COMMAND field is treated as a subparameter of the command assigned to the PFKey.
Two additional key definitions are:
Table 16 Additional Key Assignments
Key |
Description |
|---|---|
PA1 |
ABORT (forced exit). |
PA2 |
Under native TSO and ROSCOE, the first time you press this key, the screen is refreshed. The second consecutive time, a copy of the screen is sent to be printed (or to a file) via DD statement PRTDBG. (For terminal models supporting PA3, PA3 is defined in exactly the same way as PA2.) When the IOA Online facility is activated as an ISPF application, PA2 is controlled by ISPF and only refreshes the screen. For information on printing the screen, see IOA Under ISPF. Under other online environments (CICS, VTAM, and so on), PA2 serves as a refresh only. Usually one of the PA keys is assigned a local print function. |
For information on changing IOA PFKey definitions, see the appendix in the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide, which deals with modifying IOA Online Facility Commands.
