    I'm guessing the message you are getting is something to the effect of
    "Function key not allowed."
    This is because your screen is not setup to use those function keys. (I'm probably telling you things you already know)
    I'm sure you could define all the function keys possible and display an error message.
    You could also change the CPF message (CPF5204), but that will effect all programs and would be wiped out when you next upgraded your system

    Having said all that, we can now wait for someone who might have a fancier solution

      Red, I agree that the only way is to define all the keys then display your own error message instead of the IBM one.

        Here is an example of program/DDS that defined all keys and uses the hex byte codes
