Has anyone seen this before? Anyone got any ideas of how to fix it?
Any better conferences?
The customer has Oracle on VMS. When they press and hold a key, like
right-arrow, the correct character is sent for a while, but then
occaisionally something different, like "d" or "o". The naff characters
are put into the Oracle buffer.
We are trying to eliminate from our enquiries some foreign hardare that sits
between the terminals and terminal servers. The problem has only appeared
since VMS V5.0, occurs on all terminals, and only with Oracle.
Oracle technical support say "tell the customer not to do it."

Sounds like an input buffer is overflowing, or the Oracle terminal
handling software can't handle the data rates. Seen this in numerous
products, the latest of which was a vaxmate running EDT. Spurious
characters appeared if keystrokes came too fast (like banging the
arrow key a lot.....
Appears that the problem is with Oracle, and there IS a fix for
that....USE RDB and DECforms.
