I posted a while ago asking with the proper WYSE60 CRT file for use with Oracle (V5, SQLFORMS 2.0.21, SCO Xenix 2.3.2). The file I received seemed to be more or less right but I noticed that : 1 when EXEQRY (F2) or other certain keys were pressed they automatically gave a CR as well, thus clearing the status messages. I edited the CRT file and removed this. 2 the 0 key on the main keyword does not display a 0 but takes the next few keys as garbage. Note that when not in sqlforms the 0 key works fine eg in csh. 3 if I start typing during a screen draw the terminal will often start to behave in a crazy manner as if I had pressed all sorts of stray keys. 4 I set the terminal up as a 25-line terminal but every time I exit from SQLFORMS the terminal is reset to 24 line mode. 1,2 & 4 sound like CRT problems. 3 & 4 seems like a terminal setup and/or line synchronization problem. Given this, could someone please send me the CRT file that they actually use for a WYSE60 working with SQLFORMS as well as the relevant terminal setup information. I am pretty well lost.

I vaguely remember talking to them once about problems that happened if you typed while the terminal was receiving and displaying data. In fact, I remember that the 85 used to "lock up" for about a second, then continue redrawing. The manuals also state that getting in and out of Set-up during data reception is not recommended. My gut feel is that they simply may have done a poor job on this throughout their product line. I don't know the first thing about your application, however, so there very well could be other causes. For your sake, I hope I'm wrong, though. Best of luck to you. +----------------------------------+-----------------------------+ - - - - - - | Mike Cepek, Programmer/Analyst | Internet: CEPEK@MGI.COM | | Management Graphics, Inc. | Voice: +1 612/851-6112 | "Engage." | 1401 East 79th Street | Operator: +1 612/854-1220 | | Minneapolis, MN 55425 USA | Fax: +1 612/854-6913 | +----------------------------------+-----------------------------+ - - - - - -
