Defining Function Keys and Writing
Macros

Using the TACL program, you can define function keys and write macros to execute
frequently used TACL commands, such as FILES, FILEINFO, STATUS, and LOGOFF,
or to run an application program and pass parameters to the application.

Using function keys and macros, you can reduce:

The length of commands you must type by defining a function key or creating a
short macro name for a long command or a series of commands

Problems caused by typing errors by reducing the typing you must do for common
commands

The amount you must remember or look up the command syntax

For more information on these topics, see the TACL Reference Manual and the TACL
Programming Guide
