  • Help key is not working...but it should ;)

    I inherited this DDS for a screen and the HELP key does not work. I keep getting "Function key not allowed". I've posted the DDS and if you can help, it would be great.
    Thanks,
    John

    I would removed the CA01 definition and specify it using ALTHELP. This works well for us...

    Code:
    HLPTITLE('Help for Sample Generic -
    Parameters')                       
    HLPPNLGRP('JC001C' JC001H)         
    ALTHELP(CA01)                      
    HELP

      Are you using a device with a keyboard that has a 'Help' key? Most likely not. PC keyboards don't have them, so 'ALTHELP' is needed to designate a different key as an alternate 'Help' key. The general standard is that F1 is used for 'Help', so ALTHELP defaults to 'CA01'.

      There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.

      Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
