$F<internal function>$
This particular option can be very powerful and equally useful when defining a macro. There are a number of
internal handset functions that are pre-defined that you can call using this option. For example, you can use the
internal function that allows you to navigate on the handset or adjust the handset volume.
URL
Entering a URL into a macro string can be used to cause the handset to browse to a specific web page or to
access a server location using the handsets browser. Only one URL per action string is supported.
Prompt Macro Substitution
The
efk.efklist.x.action.string
can be configured to include a prompt using,
$PnNn$
where:
P
is the prompt
n
as defined by
efk.efkprompt.x where n=x
.
N
, where
n
is the number of digits or letters that the user can enter. The value must be
between 1 and 32 characters; otherwise the macro execution will fail. The user needs to
press the
Enter
softkey to complete data entry.
The macros provide a generic and easy to manage way to define the prompt to be displayed to
the user and the maximum number of characters that the user can input. The macros are case
sensitive so you will need to ensure that the P and N are both capitalized.
If a macro attempts to use a prompt that is disabled, the macro execution fails. A prompt is not
required for every macro.
