Status: Unverified

FACT(s) (Environment):

UNIX

SYMPTOM(s):

Error 627 when starting a Progress session:

** You cannot use <key> for both <string> and <string>. (627)

** You cannot use DEL for both stty intr and DELETE-CHARACTER. (627)

CAUSE:

The intr key is set to the DEL character at the operating system level, and this conflicts with the association made within the protermcap between the DEL character and the DELETE-CHARACTER function key.

The intr key is a UNIX terminal setting describing which key you should press in order to interrupt the current process; on most configuration, this key is set to CTRL-C, but on your configuration it's set to the DEL character (ASCII character 127).
You can verify your intr key setting by going to the UNIX prompt and typing:

stty -a

You will see that you have a line starting with:

intr = DEL

or

intr = ^?

FIX:

Assign a different key to the intr setting, for example CTRL-C.

In order to change it only for the current session, it's sufficient that you type something like:

stty intr '^C'

and then you start your Progress session.

In order to change the setting permanently, you need to add the 'stty intr' command either to your .profile, or to the general /etc/profile file.
Please see a UNIX administrator in order to change the /etc/profile.
