Hi, ALL-IN-1 v2.4 (could not look to see if any patches installed, but I cannot reproduce with/without patches on our system!) A user changed his Keyboard Mapping field in SWC to BRITISH_LK201-AA, which was originally blank. The Language field is set to British. Since the user has done this, every time they type GOLD H in the word processor, the process hangs. I have seen this problem before and found it can be solved in one of two ways; 1) Setting $keyboard_1="USA_LK201" $keyboard_2="USA_VT100" 2) Delete username.pst and run ALL-IN-1 again. Unfortunately, this does not work in the customer's case. After changing the users keyboard mapping , he found that $keyboard_1 was set to WPSPLUS_201_BE KEYBOARD B When he sets $keyboard_1="USA_LK201", it resolves the problem while the user is in that ALL-IN-1 session, but as soon as they exit and return to ALL-IN-1, they get the old problem back. I am going to dial-in, so that I can get some more clues on the problem, but I wondered if anyone else has seen this before?? Thanks Julie

167.1 | OA$KEYBOARDS maps different data set? | CESARE::EIJS | All in 1 Piece | Wed Mar 04 1992 17:33 | 27 |
Hi Julie, Is this a multi-lingual system, meaning is British seconf language? The value of the symbol looks to me that OA$KEYBOARDS is mapping a OA$DATA_SHARE:OA$KEYBOARDS.DAT of a different format. I'm not too good at patches, and I don't know if one of the K60* ones handled these. If not, you can do the following: In case of a multi-lingual environment, check if OA$KEYBOARDS FRM BRITISH (CM key) has the same layout/field order/etc as OA$KEYBOARDS FRM <other language>. If not, adjust the form. In case of a single language system, you probably best of creating a new data set and fill it with the keyboard entries: $ ALLIN1/USER=MANAGER <DUMP OA$KEYBOARDS <CREATE OA$KEYBOARDS <DO OA$KEYBOARD_PREPOP.SCP EXIT HTH, Simon | |||||

Hello, I have finally managed to dial-in; the customer had a oa$keyboards.dat dated 23-sep-1989 (bit old for 2.4!!!), which had a fxied record length of 160 byte records, whereas our version has 192 byte records, which seems to explain why the value of oa$keyboards_1 is so strange. The customer is <create oa$keyboards which should correct the problem, so thanks for the pointer. Julie |
