This function enables you to alter the function normally associated with
a key.  You can map any function to any key.  Each function key has three
fields associated with it which you can alter:

Field              Description 

-------------------------------------------------------

Validate field     If you set this field to Y, all
                   validation criteria must be
                   satisfied before the cursor can
                   leave a field during an ACCEPT
                   operation.  If you enter N,
                   validation criteria are not checked
                   during an ACCEPT operation.

Align field        By default this field is set to N.
                   If set to Y, a field is cleared from
                   the current cursor position to the
                   end of the field during an ACCEPT
                   operation.  Numeric fields are
                   aligned to the decimal point, if it
                   is to the right of the current
                   cursor position.

Mapped number      This field contains the number of
field              the function to which the associated
                   key is currently mapped.  Enter the
                   number of the required function if
                   you wish to alter this.

Press F2=Next Page to display a page of further function mappings, shown
in Figure 3-21.
