PUSH

Description

Specifies the sequence of characters, or function or attention key or lightpen, to be used for 'pushing' a screen; that is, saving it dynamically in storage for retrieval by the 'pull' command.

This common end-user parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), and TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement).

Format

PUSH escape

Default: PUSH />

Usage

escape, which must be delimited by a null or a space when issued, can be from one to eight characters long, PF1-PF24, PA1-3, ATTN, CLEAR or PEN.

By defining the Menu panel appropriately, using a defined input field (variable t_push) the escape sequence can be modified dynamically. See the PANEL statement in the Panels, Scripts and Variables manual.

Note: The PUSH parameter is affected by parameters CMDACTIONKEY and COMMANDPRFXVAL (see CMDACTIONKEY and COMMANDPRFXVAL).
