When using EnterpriseLink automatic translation, we found some texts were converted into buttons. Would you tell me the conditions that Enterprise Link converts text into buttons?

EnterpriseLink Automatic Translation mode will examine each host screen to determine if it follows the IBM SAA guidelines for 3270 screen design. One of these guidelines indicates that lines 21-23 should be used to indicate which PF keys are in effect for this screen and provide a short description of their operation. If EnterpriseLink can find the appropriate pattern it will turn these into HTML buttons on the page such that, when pressed, will send the PF key. IBM SAA guidelines specify a number of different forms for this information. Some of the ones accepted by EnterpriseLink are:

PF1=HELP 
F2=LOGON OR LOGOFF
PF05==>ENTER
PA1 ==> Attention
F7{Scroll Forward}

You can change this behavior on pages within a defined project. See the web page:

EnterpriseLink Administrators Site /stadmin -> Projects -> Edit

Use the radio buttons on this page to change the behavior to Automatic translation with smart button creation or Automatic translation without smart button creation. The default is to create buttons, as is the case for Automatic Translation”(no project name). You can create an empty project in Builder and change the default operation of that project using this technique, then reference start this project to turn off the button creation for.

Individual pages can be further customized using Builder to change the page-level properties of that page. The default for customized pages is “Ignore PF Key hints” but these can be changed to “PF Keys to Buttons” or “PF Keys to Hyperlinks.” The latter will generate hyperlinks with the operation name instead of buttons.
