Resolution

1. At the Enter Next Task Code, issue a DCUF SET DICTNAME SYSTEM.
2. Next, issue command SYSGEN.
3. In the SYSGEN, get current on the new SYSTEM (command DIS SYSTEM nn WITH NONE) and issue a DISPLAY ALL KEYS and see if KEYS FOR TABLE keys-table-name is missing from the new IDMS CV number.
4. The correct DISPLAY ALL KEYS should look like so:
   
   DIS SYSTEM 99 WITH NONE.
*+ ADD SYSTEM 99 
*+ SYSTEM ID IS SYST0099 
*+ . 
DIS ALL KEYS. 
*+ ADD KEYS FOR TABLE SYSTEM 
*+ PA1 = FUNCTION 1 
*+ PA2 = FUNCTION 2 
*+ ENTER = FUNCTION 3 
*+ CLEAR = FUNCTION 4 
*+ FOR APPLICATION LINEMODE 
*+ FOR APPLICATION REPLAY 
*+ FOR APPLICATION OLM 
*+ PF1 = FUNCTION 1 
*+ PF2 = FUNCTION 2 
*+ PF3 = FUNCTION 3 
*+ PF4 = FUNCTION 4 
*+ PF5 = FUNCTION 5 
*+ PF6 = FUNCTION 6 
*+ PF7 = FUNCTION 7 
*+ PF8 = FUNCTION 8 
*+ PF9 = FUNCTION 9
   
   
5. In the SYSGEN, issue DISPLAY SYSTEM 99 WITH NONE. Next line. DIS KEYS FOR TABLE SYSTEM AS SYN.
