- ActionKey syntax
- %key
- A declared ActionKey enumeration. Valid values are Enter and pf1, pf2, and so on through pf24. The value that is set initially is Enter.
- %screen
- A reference to an instance of a Screen object.
- Usage Notes
You can use the ActionKey class ToNumber method to convert ActionKey enumeration values to a numeric value: the integer that remains after the key name is stripped of its “PF” prefix. For Enter, the numeric value is 0. These values are useful in a value-testing loop in conjunction with the User Language JUMP statement.
