[archive] Function keys

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 26 April 2005]

How can I assign a function key to a push button and not change any acu-cobol generated code?

Thanks for your reply. What I wanted to do was assign F2 to a function that a pushbutton also performs (e.g. a search). It appears though that in most cases a LINK TO routine will catch the "2" EXCEPTION code so I think we sort of resolved this somewhat. However, some coders use a TERMINATION code setting instead and at times this seems to work only with this in here.

Thanks for this information.
