HP-UX (Non)Function Keys

[Deskin, Bob]

The following information was pointed out to me. Looks like you have to
export AXTICRS.

This works on both HPUX and tru64 in the past. There is one exception -
there is a bug relating to setting the QKGO timeout variable, which
interferes with the function key setup and stops them working, unsetting the
timeout value should allows the keys to work.

Problem:

The F8 function key maps to the exit/previous screen quick command in Power
House 8.13 on Tru64.

After upgrading to Power House 8.23, the F8 key results in an 'unknown
command' message.

Unable to map the F8 function key to the exit/previous screen quick command.

Solution:

The F8 key can be mapped to process a exit/previous screen quick command
from the reflections configuration panel using the following sequence,
setup/ keyboard map/ F8/ commands/ vt / VtPrevScreen / then click MAP. 

The AXTICRS variable must also be setup - 

AXTICRS=$PH_QKGO_LOCATION/resource/tic_vt200;export AXTICRS

Have you tried using value 0 in function keys? I have not played with this
on UNIX but as far as I know it works. I don't recall any bugs. Check with
Customer Support.

Bob,

Again, no change in behaviour.

Try using AXTICRS instead or PHTICRS. When we went to the 8.xx level, the
code base was taken from what was then the Axiant server (which had come
from standard QUICK years before). Some of the environment variables were
changed. I believe that at this version, you need AXTICRS. When we release
next time, we'll accept both.

As for what setting to use in QKGO, if you're using dynamic function keys,
use the DFK setting, otherwise try Fixed Standard.
