RE: [U2] [UV] up-arrow w/command stack
Yes, Prime INFORMATION had this function well over ten years ago. COMMAND.EDITOR is not really fully supported and was ported by a third-party for specific IBM clients to migrate from PI/Open. The current version (10.1.x and above) is much better than the first release (10.0.x), which had a habit of crashing and dropping you out of UniVerse. IBM says not to use it 10.0.x! NB: Don't use the ALL option if you have you own keyboard handling routines for cursor or function keys. This command will take control of those key sequence trappings before your application can get them. In additional to command-line editing at the TCL prompt, the ALL options enables the same functionality in BASIC programs too. It will allow: A) input editing, by default, B) can enable field-level editing of input variables in BASIC code, if you use the INPUT @(col, row):variableName statement. Line wrapping isn't handled too well either! If you're using most of sort of VT-terminal emulations, usually your keyboard gets set to application mode too. That is, the numeric pad no longer outputs numerics, but escape key sequences. Some modification of your UV terminfo definitions will be required to prevent this (or your emulator could provide a solution too). For those of you that still use/remember EMACS screen editor, that's the default editing command set for the navigating too. Other keyboard mappings supposedly are defined like in PI or PI/Open using SYS.TERMINALS for the *.IKBIND keyboard definitions too. Sadly, GET.TERM.TYPE and SET.TERM.TYPE don't work like they did in PI. It's not perfect, but at it's free and may help some people. ;-) Regards David -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Womack, Adrian Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 10:54 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] [UV] up-arrow w/command stack Rather than writing a program and using SYSTEM(4001) SYSTEM(4002), a slightly easier way is to use: COMMAND.EDITOR ON ALL acct name PI/Open had the COMMAND.EDITOR command years ago, and it was documented.
