Configure Keypad
Keypad configuration associates an action with each button in the keypad. The list of available
actions is displayed in a drop-down list for each button. Macros may be configured as keys. A
special value of None indicates a button should not be shown in this position. This is useful for
making a button, near this position, more noticeable.
Adding a macro to the keypad
The following steps explain how to add a macro to the keypad:
1. Create a macro as explained in 4.4.2, My Macros on page 91.
2. Click My Keypads. The My Keypads page opens as shown in Figure 4-24.
3. Locate the keypad you want to configure. Click Configure. You can see a small piece of
the bottom keypad configuration in Figure 4-25.

4. Locate the key to be edited. Select the down arrow and click the name of the macro.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Save.
4.4.4 Cursor positioning
Several iSeries functions use the current cursor position to carry out their tasks. Several
examples include the F1, F4, and F9 keys. The 5250 user interface supports this functionality
using links and JavaScript. Input fields and non-input fields are handled differently:
Non-input fields: Within the session view, you can see the
Enable cursor positioning
option. This option shows all non-blank and non-input fields as links. Selecting the link
updates the current cursor position from the session. This current cursor position is also
displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the window, in the OIA. When a
cursor-sensitive function is invoked, the current cursor position is used.
Input fields: The 5250 user interface uses JavaScript to handle cursor positioning for
input fields. This option is always enabled if the browser supports JavaScript and is
configured to use it. The current cursor position is not updated in the OIA when the cursor
is placed in an input field.
