Q: I would like to change the processing of the Attention key. If an operator hits it, I want the Attention key to bring up a program instead of the Operational Assistant screen. Can you supply any ideas or pointers on how to do this?
A: Right now, you get the Opera-tional Assistant screen because the Attention program (ATNPGM) parameter of your user profile is set to a value of *ASSIST or *SYSVAL (and the system value QATNPGM is set to *ASSIST). Use the Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF) command and specify the program and the library in which the program resides in the ATNPGM parameter. Have the user sign off and sign on again, and you should be in business. It's as simple as keying the following command.
CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(user-profile) + ATNPGM(library/program)
