2163.0. "Control C and UDP's" by KERNEL::SMITHERSJ (Living on the culinary edge....) Wed Jan 27 1993 15:05

    UDP and Control C query.
    
    If I have a UDP with .FX LIST [.DOC8]ZTUDIDKD.WPL, I can read
    that particular document.  Usually, if I want to stop a UDP, I 
    might use Control C.  However, if I use Control C to stop the 
    list command it ignores it, and worse, if the bottom marker is
    displayed on the screen, I get an accvio.
    
    I know on page 19-3 it says to use INTERRUPT but that doesn't 
    work either.  I get the INTERRUPT menu rather than a stopped UDP.
    Because a UDP is like a script, Control C should work (as
    documented in the Application Programming guide).
    
    Is there a workaround for this?  This behaviour is exhibited in
    earlier versions of WPS-PLUS too.
    
    Thanks

    Hi Julia,                                   
    
    If you read a document or list a file as you have the form OA$LIST is
    used to display the document.  For some reason unknown to me Control C
    is disabled and not Control Y.  If you use Control Y you are returned
    to the DCL prompt providing Control Y is not disabled in SYSUAF, if it
    is it acts like Control C.
    
    One thing to note that you can use Control C when printing in foreground
    to cancel the formatting of a document. That may provide a solution to
    your problem or may not.  I have not been able to find a key definition
    for Control C in the DEFAULT form.
    
    My guess is that it may not be possible to use Control C on the OA$LIST
    form.  On the other hand the IOSG team may confirm what I have said or give
    a work around.
    
    Just thought that I would add what I have found so that you are not
    feeling too lonely out there :-). Good luck.
    
    Regards,

2163.3Can't re-define control-CIOSG::SHOVEDave Shove -- REO2-G/M6Mon Feb 01 1993 17:495
    You won't find a definition for Control-C anywhere. It's one of the few
    keys which can't be re-defined (FMS prevents the re-definition of a
    few as well - notably left- and right-arrow).
    
    Dave.

    Hi,
    
    Just a wild guess (meaning not even tried).
    
    The function list would be calling form OA$LIST with some '/PRE'
    processing. If instead using LIST you call form OA$LIST yourself and
    extend the /PRE with someting like:
    
    	/PRE='....... \CONTROL_HANDLERS_ON'
    
    Or will this get in conflict with what Dave mentioned in .3?
    
    Ciao,
