Barcode function keys on AS400

How do you set up a barcode (code 128) for a function key? Ex. Let's say you want to barcode the F4 function key, so that a user can display a different screen instead of actually pressing the F4 key. Do you use Hexidecimal or Ascii or what type of letters/symbols/numbers? I actually need this info for all function keys.

Thanks for any help!

Try to use in DDS definition in Display file codes

A                                 CF03(03 'Exit')
A                                 CF05(05 'Refresh')
A                                 CF06(06 'Create')
A                                 CF12(12 'Cancel')

or CA03...

In RPG or CL program use normal indicators *IN03, *IN05.., or you can in RPGIV use rename indicators:

DName+++++++++++ETDsFrom+++To/L+++IDc.Keywords+++++++++++++
D #IndicatorPtr                    *   INZ(%ADDR(*IN))
D                 DS                  BASED(#IndicatorPtr)
D #F03Key                  3      3
D #F05Key                  5      5

Could I place a hidden field on each display screen, make it input capable, print a barcode as "#F03key", and then code the program to accept the barcode "#F03key" to mean the same as F3 which is End program? -or- is there an easier way?
