Hi,

I'm using a ISPF Panel with PF keys. My intention is to trap the PF keys and provide functionalities for the keys. KEYPRESS=.PFKEY and vput the KEYPRESS to the Rexx Program. There I defined the Key fucntionalities. But for Keys like F1, etc. The HELP is displayed instead of the key function. How to overcome this and provide user defined fucntion to the keys?

Please don't do that. It is not how ISPF applications are supposed to work. The application should respond to a command from the command line and the PFKeys should be set to those commands. You should never force a user to use specific keys because they can change their keys. Use your own application id and/or use keylists. If necessary, see also the CMD() operand of the panel )BODY statement.
