Tips & Techniques
- The use of special value *ANY is recommended if any function can be invoked rather than listing all function names.
- If *ANY is used, it should be the only entry in the list.
- If *ANY is not used, ensure that the Next Function is included into the list.
- Lists that do not include "reserved" names EXIT and MENU are effectively disabling the use of the EXIT and MENU function keys. The EXIT and MENU function keys are processed by simulating the entry of "next functions" of EXIT and MENU respectively.
