Protermcap - What is Progress receiving when pressing Key
The following Kbase entry is to assist customers when troubleshooting
their protermcap entries.
1. On the UNIX command line, type Control V and then press the key
you are modifying. This will show you the escape sequence the key
is sending. In other kbases - we have mentioned doing the same
task as above, inside the vi editor. The results are not
consistent. Therefore the recommendation is to use the command
line instead of the vi editor.
Note: If you are using VMS, the editor would be EDIT. You would
use <ctrl-v> to find out what a key's escape sequence was.
You can use <ctrl-j> to see what a key is mapped to.
2. In Progress you can check to see what is being received when
you press a key - you have modified. The procedure below can be
typed into the Progress Editor. When ran you will be presented
with a box. When you press a key you will receive the function
and label for that key. This will assist you in identifying what
key is being detected and used via the protermcap.
repeat:
readkey.
display keyfunction(lastkey).
display keylabel(lastkey).
end.
