DFSMSrmm: Correct PFKEY description for help panels such as EDGHD02F

There are many help panels such as EDGHD02F that does not have correct description for PF7, PF8 and PF10. The keys do work and we can navigate, however, the description for them is incorrect when you enter PFSHOW.

There are numerous panels upwards of 400 help panels that may need to be update from:


Currently RMM used below PFKEYS text for all help panels

F1=Help F2=Split F3=End F4=Return F7=Up F8=Down

F9=Swap F10=Left F11=Right F12=Retrieve

It should be changed to something like..

F7=PrvTopic F8=NxtTopic F10=PrvPage F11=NxtPage



Example:


  • From RMMISPF, select option 5.1.5

  • Search on a volume

  • Select the volume

  • type I next to the data set

  • Bring cursor to expiration date or time(if it exists) and PF1

This issue seems to be this way for number years or releases. We can still navigate using F7, F8, F10, F11, the description is incorrect for these keys.
