AS/400 HELP

"SYSREQ"

SYSREQ provides two functions.

Limit the SYSTEM REQUEST key to certain users and assign a command / program to the ATTENTION key.

SYSREQ works with the exit point QIBM_QWT_SYSREQPGM to control access to the SYSTEM REQUEST KEY and the system value QATNPGM to allow you to assign a command and or program to the ATTENTION KEY.

SYSREQ was developed at V5.1 and V5.3 It uses API QWTSETPX

SETUP

ADDLIBLE SYSREQ (if this library is not in the system library list)

CALL SYSREQ1

NOTE: applying a command and or a program to the ATTENTION key for a user is effective immediately. Granting or revoking the SYSTEM REQUEST key to a user is effective on the next sign-on.

NOTE: If a user is not enrolled in SYSREQ the ATTENTION key for that user does nothing and the SYSTEM REQUEST key IS functional..

NOTE: Users added to SYSREQ are in file SYSREQID in library SYSREQ. No mods are made to the actual user profiles.

NOTE Many ERP systems use the ATTENTION key for their defined function(S). The ATTENTION key function in SYSREQ may not work with your ERP system.
