 string

    Specifies the string you want entered when you press the defined
    key. For example, you can define string as the SYSMAN command
    SHOW ENVIRONMENT or SHOW PROFILE.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /ECHO

       /ECHO (default)
       /NOECHO

    Specifies whether the command line echoes after you press the
    defined key. Note that you cannot define a key using both the
    /NOECHO and /NOTERMINATE qualifiers.

2.2    /IF_STATE

       /IF_STATE=state_list
       /NOIF_STATE

    Specifies a list of states, any one of which must be set in order
    to enable the specified key definition. If you omit or negate
    this qualifier, the current state prevails.

2.3    /LOCK_STATE

       /LOCK_STATE
       /NOLOCK_STATE (default)

    Retains the state specified by the /SET_STATE qualifier until you
    use the /SET_STATE qualifier again to change it.

2.4    /SET_STATE

       /SET_STATE
       /NOSET_STATE

    Associates a state with the key you are defining. A state name
    can be any alphanumeric string. If you omit or negate this
    qualifier, the current state remains unchanged. You cannot define
    a key using both the /SET_STATE and /TERMINATE qualifiers.

2.5    /TERMINATE

       /TERMINATE
       /NOTERMINATE

    Determines whether the specified command string executes when
    you press the key. When you use /NOTERMINATE, you must press the
    Return key to execute the command string. You cannot define a key
    using both the /SET_STATE and /TERMINATE qualifiers.

3  –  Description

    The DEFINE/KEY command assigns a key to a SYSMAN command. This
    enables you to execute the command by pressing the key. You
    can confirm which keys you have defined by using the SHOW KEY
    command.

    When you exit from SYSMAN, any SYSMAN key definitions you
    established will be lost unless you define them in a SYSMAN
    initialization file.

4  –  Examples

    1.SYSMAN> DEFINE /KEY PF1 "SHOW PROFILE"

      This example shows how to define the keypad key PF1 as the
      SYSMAN command SHOW PROFILE. To execute the SHOW PROFILE
      command, press PF1 and then the Return key.

    2.SYSMAN> DEFINE /KEY KP0 /TERMINATE "CONFIGURATION SHOW TIME"

      This example shows how to define the keypad key 0 as the
      CONFIGURATION SHOW TIME command. The /TERMINATE qualifier
      causes the SYSMAN command to execute when you press keypad
      key 0 without having to press Return.
