Help : Unlock keyboard for ERRMSG
iv...@multipolar.co.id
When we display ERRMSG, the keyboard is automatically lock. We have to press
"Reset" key to unlock it. How can we release the lock without user
intervention (automatically by program after displaying error message) ?????
Any response will be appreciated. Thanks

I would suggest to use a message subfile (like IBM does in it's own
programs) which doesn't have these kind of problems. Just do a search on
http://www.dejanews.com with "SFLMSGRCD" and you'll find a complete coding
example, posted by myselff, of how to use this.
As far as the ERRMSG is concerned, you'll always have to press RESET.
Kind regards,
Paul

displays (the real ones, not the emulators). They had a 25th line for errors
which got swapped with the screen's 24th line when written to. The hardware
made you press the reset key to swap the lines back. Support for that line was
architected in a command in the 5250 data stream, and that's what the ERRMSG
keyword generates. Old S/38 folks will remember a lot more system generated
messages like that, that eventually got converted to status messages. The
status messages go away of their own accord.

Using the ERRSFL keyword will do what you want. The keyboard will not
be locked, and also if there is more than one ERRMSG or ERRMSGID
active, the user can position the cursor on the error message and
scroll through the various messages.
There are some quirks to ERRSFL that will cause it not work, so read
the DDS Reference Manual.

One such "quirk" that I haven't been able to address is the fact that
I can't make the "subfile" piece of this keyword work for me at all. I
can only get one message at a time. I started a thread called ERRSFL
where I bemoan this fact. One respondent stated that I must be doing
something wrong because he has made this work at his other job. Do you
or anybody else have an example where you actually made the + sign
appear indicating additional messages when using ERRSFL?

If you ever find the answer..forward it to me..We don't use ERRMSG for that
reason..we use error message subfiles and get our messages from msgid's...Ron
