Choose the General characteristics option from the Transaction menu of the Screen layout manager.
Click the Characteristics button in the "Transaction" section (first button panel) of the Question/Answer programming interface dialog box.

Check boxes
Function keys
Here, the function keys are represented by check boxes: it is thus possible to define or to modify, in the transaction, the type of operation of function keys which have not been defined at the program level (these function keys are dimmed and cannot be modified).
An empty check box means that the corresponding function key is not active in the transaction.
A dimmed check box cannot be modified: it comes from the program definition.
Click a box to check it: the type of the corresponding function key is then CF (function key: transmits the data to the program).
Double-click to blacken the box: the type of the corresponding function key is then CA (attention key: does not transmit the data to the program).
Click a third time to clear the box: the function key is undefined again.
