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.
