Operational Assistant Attention-Key-Handling (group jobs) (QEZMAIN) API


  Default Public Authority: *USE

  Threadsafe: No

The Operational Assistant Attention-Key-Handling (QEZMAIN) API creates a group job to display the Operational Assistant menu (ASSIST). This avoids the Attention-key-handling program running in the same job as an application which leaves the keyboard unlocked between input and output operations. This API can only be used in an interactive job.

Notes:

  1. The various job attributes (such as library list or the System/36™ environment) may differ between the user's job and the job in which the ASSIST menu runs. To avoid this situation, you might want to use the QEZAST API.

  2. This program is only intended to be used as an Attention-handling program for jobs that do not transfer to other group jobs.
