Current Softkey Row (SPD_PTR)
When you first load the softkey editor you will notice that the
number on the far left (where the up arrow would normally be) is 18.
This number indicates the current softkey row number. So anytime
softkey row 18 is called the softkeys
{PRGRAM MANAG} , {OFFSET} ,
{MACROPARAM} , etc... are displayed.
Softkey Row Number Called
The number in the white box below where the up arrow should be
currently shows a zero. This number indicates the row number
called when the up arrow is pressed. Since this is the first level of
softkeys this box is white and zero indicates no new softkey row is
called.
Current Softkey Number
The current softkey number appears on top of the right arrow. This
field is not changeable however, since this value is referenced
throughout the Basic Display Set, it is provided on this screen.
Edit Softkey Text Buttons
The five buttons on the softkey names are used to change the text for
a softkey
K/S Button
Initially this button is set to K, which indicates the pointer field
beneath the softkeys is showing the softkey key numbers. Pressing
this button again changes it to S, which indicates the pointer field
shows the screen number.
Softkey and Screen Pointer
This field contains either the number of the softkey row (S mode) or
the screen number (K mode) called when that softkey is pressed.
