Use DEFINE/KEY to define a key to execute a command string. Format DEFINE/KEY key-name "command-string" [/qualifier...]
1 – Restrictions
o Key definitions apply only to terminal environments. o Keys defined with the DEFINE/KEY command in the REVIEW subsystem can only be used in the REVIEW subsystem. They are not effective during test recording or in the Digital Test Manager subsystem. A separate DEFINE/KEY command may be used within the Digital Test Manager subsystem to define keys within that environment.
2 – Command Qualifiers
2.1 /ECHO
/ECHO (D) /NOECHO Specifies whether the command is displayed on your screen after you press the defined key. You cannot define a key by specifying both /NOECHO and /NOTERMINATE.
2.2 /IF_STATE
/IF_STATE=(state-name,...) /NOIF_STATE Specifies a list of states, any one of which must be set to enable the specified key definition. The default is the current state. Digital Test Manager defines the two states REVIEW and GOLD_REVIEW. The /NOIF_STATE qualifier selects the current state.
2.3 /LOCK_STATE
/LOCK_STATE /NOLOCK_STATE (D) Retains the state specified with the /SET_STATE qualifier until you use the /SET_STATE qualifier again to change it.
2.4 /SET_STATE
/SET_STATE=state-name /NOSET_STATE Associates a state with the key you are defining. The default is the current state. A state name can be any alphanumeric string. Digital Test Manager defines the two states REVIEW and GOLD_REVIEW. You cannot define a key specifying both /SET_STATE and /TERMINATE. The /NOSET_STATE qualifier selects the current state.
2.5 /TERMINATE
/TERMINATE /NOTERMINATE (D) Determines whether the specified command string executes when you press the defined key. When you use /NOTERMINATE, you must press RETURN to execute the command. You cannot define a key specifying both /SET_STATE and /TERMINATE or /NOECHO and /NOTERMINATE.
3 – Example
DTM_REVIEW> DEFINE/KEY KP1/IF_STATE=REVIEW/TERMINATE- _DTM_REVIEW> "NEXT/SUCCESSFUL" DTM_REVIEW> DEFINE/KEY KP1/IF_STATE=GOLD_REVIEW/TERMINATE- _DTM_REVIEW> "BACK/SUCCESSFUL" DTM_REVIEW> This example defines two keys on the Review subsystem keypad. When you press the keypad 1 key, you move forward to the next result description for a successful test. When you press the GOLD key followed by the keypad 1 key, you move backward to the previous result description for a successful test.
