Hello All, I have a strange situation going on with an Intermec CK30 terminal. We have an error message routine that clears the display, issues an INPUTCLEAR, then displays the error message, then issues an INPUT DUMMY,1 (press any key to continue). This is so that the user cannot bypass the error.
What has been happening is that the INPUTCLEAR statement seems to have no impact on the typeahead buffer. The error message is not displayed. Somehow there is data in the typeahead. The error message routine appears to be skipped altogether. What is happening is that the there is still something in the typeahead when it gets to the INPUT DUMMY,1. In effect pressing 'any key' for the user. I changed the error message routine to do INPUTCLEAR, INPUT DUMMY,1 , DISPLAY ERROR.MSG, INPUT DUMMY,1. This works and only requires one key press (even though you all logic would make you believe it would require two). Very strange. Has anyone else encountered something like this. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks Anthony ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
