Good morning/after noon. I need your valuable help, sir.

We migrated from Sco OpenServer 5.0 and Informix 7.20 to Sco Open
Server 6.0 and Informix 7.32. When we compile programs with Window
declaration, it can not execute but terminates the application. We
have checked the terminal type which is, at386-ie. When we made
changes to my .profile i.e.
eval `tset -m at386-ie:at386-ie -m vt100:vt100 -m ansi:${TERM:-ansi} -
m :\?${TERM:-ansi} -e -r -s -Q` the initial setting being:

eval `tset -m scoansi:${TERM:-scoansi} -m :\?${TERM:-scoansi} -r -s -
Q`

All these do not seem to bear expected results. Because we expect a
menu like this:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
¦PPSystem:   Payroll  peRsonnel  SDF  Quit       ¦
¦Select Payroll System Functions                       ¦
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
Which is not coming.

In the /etc, the ttytpe entry have the following entries:
at386-ie console
at386-ie syscon
at386-ie systty
at386-ie tty01
at386-ie tty02
at386-ie tty03

The following program runs and executes:

DATABASE "/srs-prps/ppsys/phaseI/ppdb"
MAIN
        DEFINE ans CHAR(1)
        DEFINE pline INTEGER
        DEFINE flag CHAR(1),
               w_authorized      SMALLINT,
               w_userid          LIKE userrec.userid
        LET pline = 7
   ### OPTIONS PROMPT LINE pline
        WHILE pline <> 10
   ###         OPEN WINDOW wdw AT 4,6 WITH 7 ROWS, 60 COLUMNS
ATTRIBUTE (BORDER)
   ###         DISPLAY "Rows = 7, PROMPT LINE is set to ", pline at 2,
6
   ###         PROMPT "123456789012345678901234567890abcdef" FOR CHAR
ans
   ###         CLOSE WINDOW wdw
            LET pline = pline + 1
            display " loop  ", pline
   ###         OPTIONS PROMPT LINE pline
        END WHILE
  LET w_userid = FGL_GETENV("LOGNAME")
  SELECT TRUE
    INTO w_authorized
    FROM userrec
   WHERE userid = w_userid
  ###  DISPLAY "Rows = 7, PROMPT LINE is set to ", pline  at 2, 6
    display "Reached Here "
    display pline
    display w_userid
    sleep 6
    END MAIN

But when the comments are removed, it crushes and dumps. When we run
run on the server itself we got error -1135.  We tried to run this :

 case "$1" in
        ansi)
            # change console term type
            defadm coterm TERM=ansi
            sed -e 's/^at386-ie/ansi/' < /etc/ttytype > /etc/ttytype.$
$
            cp /etc/ttytype.$$ /etc/ttytype
            rm -f /etc/ttytype.$$

            # change console font
            defadm cofont COFONT=pc850

            # remap function keys
            [ -f /usr/lib/keyboard/strings.d/at386-ie ] || \
              cp /usr/lib/keyboard/strings /usr/lib/keyboard/strings.d/
at386-ie
            cp -f /usr/lib/keyboard/strings.d/ansi /usr/lib/keyboard/
strings
            ;;
     esac

     /sbin/loadfont
     mapstr
But this did'nt seem to work. It came up with :

UX:pcfont: ERROR: pcfont can only be run from a virtual terminal
UX:pcfont: ERROR: on a graphics workstation
mapstr: cannot put key strings: Invalid argument

I renamed the termcap in "/etc/termcap" and "/u/informix/etc/termcap"
and copied these files from Sco Openserver 5. Since I am not quite
competent to handle these files, I did not want to take chances and
mess up.

When I compiled, using our terminal emulator, "EWAN", the program
exited and terminated the application. I went and logged on the server
and re-compiled and run the program and it displayed the following:

Program Stopped at "Wintest.4gl", line 24
which is:
DISPLAY "Rows = 7, PROMPT LINE is set to ", pline  at 5, 3
error number -1135
The row or column number in DISPLAY AT exceeds the limits of your
terminal

What I noticed though, is that there was no core dump this time as was
the case previously.

Other than the termcap, we have the following settings:
Internal Codeset        Console Codeset
ISO8859-1                IBM850

I wonder if the font type and size would be an issue. If I have to
make changes to the termcap, what are these changes ? I have looked at
the code, I can't easily work my way around.

What would be the correct console terminal settings for our version or
could it be something else ?

We need your help. Thanking you in advance.
