<h1 class="topictitle1">ALTHELP (Alternative Help Key) keyword for display files</h1>
<div><p>Use this file-level keyword to assign a command attention (CA)
key as an alternative Help key.</p>
<div class="section"><p>When either the Help key or the CA key is pressed, the help function
is called.</p>
<div class="p">The format of the keyword is: <pre>ALTHELP[(CAnn)]</pre>
</div>
<p>The
valid values for the optional parameter are CA01 through CA24. If the parameter
is not specified, CA01 is the default.</p>
<p>The HELP keyword must also be
specified, either at the file level or on at least one record in the file.
ALTHELP applies only to records for which the HELP keyword also applies. If
HELP is specified at the file level, it applies to all records in the file;
thus, ALTHELP also applies to all records in the file. If HELP is specified
at the record level, ALTHELP applies only to those records that have the HELP
keyword specified. See the HELP (Help) keyword for display files topic for
information about how to specify the HELP keyword.</p>
<p>If you specify a
response indicator on the HELP keyword, the response indicator is set on and
control is returned to your program when either the Help key or the CAnn key
is pressed.</p>
<p>If you specify option indicators on the HELP keyword, the
same option indicators apply to the ALTHELP keyword. That is, both the Help
key and the CAnn key are active when the indicator condition is true.</p>
<p>The following keywords cannot be specified in a file with
an ALTHELP keyword that has no parameter (CA01 default):</p>
<div class="tablenoborder"><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="" width="100%" frame="void" border="0" rules="none"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="50%"><p>ALTPAGEDWN(CF01)<br />

<p>Similarly, the following keywords cannot be specified
in a file with ALTHELP(CA<var class="varname">nn</var>) (where <var class="varname">nn</var> is
the same number):</p>
<div class="tablenoborder"><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="" width="100%" frame="void" border="0" rules="none"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="50%"><p>ALTPAGEDWN(CFnn)<br />

SFLFOLD(CAnn)<br />
SFLFOLD(CFnn)</p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>You cannot specify RETKEY or RETCMDKEY in a file with the ALTHELP
keyword.</p>
<p>Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.</p>
</div>
<div class="example"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example</h4><p>The following example shows how to specify
the ALTHELP keyword.</p>
<pre>|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8

A HELP(01 'HELP KEY PRESSED')
A R RECORD

<p>The CA01 key is an alternative Help key. If the user
presses the CA01 key or the Help key, response indicator 01 is set on and
control returns to the application program.</p>
