KBLABEL function

Returns the keyboard label (such as F1) of the key that performs a specified ABL function (such as GO).

Note: Does not apply to SpeedScript programming.

Syntax

KBLABEL ( key-function )

key-function: An expression whose value is the name of the special ABL key function. See OpenEdge Development: Programming Interfaces for possible values of key-name. If key-function is a constant, enclose it in quotation marks (""). See the same chapter for a list of key functions and the corresponding standard keyboard keys.

Example

The r-kblabl.p procedure allows the user to update some of the fields in each of the customer records, and displays a message in the status message area at the bottom of the window:

r-kblabl.p

STATUS INPUT "Enter data, then press " + KBLABEL("GO").
FOR EACH Customer:
  UPDATE Customer.CustNum Customer.Name Customer.Address Customer.City 
    Customer.State.
END.

Note

If you reassign a new function key for the key function with the ON statement, the KBLABEL function returns the new key.
