PxPlus System Programs and Files

These two keyed files, *KYBRD.CFG and *KYBRD.STD, contain the keyboard command sequences and their respective CTL values. The system utility *TTY uses the information contained in these files to load the CTL key definitions for terminals.

The *KYBRD.STD file contains the standard keyboard definitions as provided by PVX Plus Technologies. The *KYBRD.CFG file contains any custom definitions that have been defined by the users. The system utility *UCK creates and updates the *KYBRD.CFG file. These files contain records with 80 elements where each element has the input sequences for various CTL functions. The CTL values for each of the 80 elements is maintained in the *KYBRD.STD file along with the keyword description of the function it represents.

When *TTY is looking for a keyboard definition, it first looks in the *KYBRD.CFG file. If no entry is found, the *KYBRD.STD file is used.

Running the *UCK utility invokes the following window for specifying the keyboard definitions:

Note:
The "ALT" that precedes the ALT - F1 to F4 key combinations in the bottom right section stands for "alternate" (not the actual Alt key). This means that you have the option to set an alternate or secondary definition for the F1 to F4 keys, if desired.
