DDS ROLL UP/DOWN keywords

[Leif Svalgaard]

Anything special with the DDS keywords ROLLUP
and ROLLDOWN?
I have them included in my DDS for a display file,
but the system still responds with "Function key not
allowed" ?
TIA

No - nothing special. Can you provide more details? For example, is ROLLUP
specified for the file or for a record?

If at a record, is this the last record written? The last record written
determines what keys are allowed, unless it specifies RETKEY (Retain
Function Keys), in which case the previous record determines the keys.

Of course, if you are using a subfile, then the rules are completely
different. If ROLLUP (or PAGEDOWN) are in effect for a subfile control
record, it only returns control to the program when the user tries to roll
off of the bottom of the current records in the subfile.

If you are in S/36 Environment, then you can't use a response indicator; for
example, ROLLUP(24) would turn on *IN24 in OS/400 programs. S/36 programs
can't deal with response indicators, so you must omit the indicator and use
INFDS or I-O feedback area to determine that Roll Up (Page Dn) was pressed.
(You can also use INFDS or I-O feedback area in OS/400 programs, but why
would you want to?)

Hope this helps.
