Function Keys 

A function key set can contain up to eight function keys.  Each key can
execute an item when the user presses the key.  Some of the items that
can be called from a function key are:

   *   A function.

   *   A process.

   *   A report.

   *   A screen.

   *   A help screen.

   *   Another function key set.

Any type of screen can use a function key set.  A function key set is
defined separately from the screen, so you can use one function key set
with a number of screens.  The function key set associated with a screen
is named on the screen header screen.

When you define a function key set you can define up to three items for
each function key.  These items are an action, the text for the function
key label, and optionally, a user switch to be assigned to the function
key.  The status of the user switch is displayed in the function key
label.
