[archive] Keystroke Issue

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 21 September 2006]

The following code used to work on our old ACUCOBOL - DOS system.

INSERT..............SET ENVIRONMENT "KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=50 Kl",
F11...................SET ENVIRONMENT"KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=11 U1",
F12...................SET ENVIRONMENT"KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=12 U2",
DELETE..............SET ENVIRONMENT"KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=54 KX",
END...................SET ENVIRONMENT"KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=55 KE".

I use the exception conditions to trap the keys noted.

Now the INSERT key does not give an exception.

If I change it for

HOME................SET ENVIRONMENT "KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=50 kh",
F11...................SET ENVIRONMENT"KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=11 U1",
F12...................SET ENVIRONMENT"KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=12 U2",
DELETE..............SET ENVIRONMENT"KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=54 KX",
END...................SET ENVIRONMENT"KEYSTROKE" TO "Exception=55 KE".

The HOME key does give an exception.

Any clues as to why I cannot get the INSERT key to provide me with an exception condition in an accept?
