167.0. "Keyboard mapping blues" by KERNEL::OTHENJ () Wed Mar 04 1992 15:55

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

167.1OA$KEYBOARDS maps different data set?CESARE::EIJSAll in 1 PieceWed Mar 04 1992 17:3327
    
    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.
