2897.0. "Keypad KP0 not working" by ZPOVC::CHINGYUE () Tue Jun 22 1993 12:02

    
    A customer using SETHOST and TELNET on PC couldn't use KP0 to EXIT
    from a customized ARG form. Other forms work just fine. 
    "0" appears instead. Everything's fine if KERMIT is being used.
    
    The following methods were tried but fail;
    
    1.  F3 setup to use application keypad
        works on the first try but fails on subsequent attempts
    
    2. 	set term/application/perm
    
    3.	arg/overly/pre="get oa$dcl='set term/application'\ifexit"
    
    Anybody has any idea ?
    
    ps:
    There's nothing particular about this ARG form either. It's
    just a modification of another ARG form.

2897.1Suggestions and questionsSCOTTC::MARSHALLSpitfire Drivers Do It ToplessTue Jun 22 1993 12:4312
Are you sure that the form doesn't call the KEYPAD OFF API function; does it
have the/KEYPAD form qualifier?  Does it call anything that might turn the
keypad off?

Maybe something on the form intentionally turns the keypad off.  In this case,
are you sure that all paths through the form re-activate the keypad.

If the user leaves the form by other means (eg pressing RETURN), does KP0 work
as expected on the form the user is returned to: ie is the problem always local
to the one form, or once the keypad is turned off, does it stay off?

    According to customer, the answer is no.

    Yes, it's alway local.
    
    I'll have customer to check the path for KEYPAD OFF again.

2897.3/reset does the trickZPOVC::CHINGYUEMon Jun 28 1993 03:179
    hi,
    
    Problem resolved by using /RESET before calling her problematic
    form. Guess I should use the work 'workaround' instead of solve
    eh ?
    
    Thanks anyway.
