Re: Function keys not allowed

The PRINT keyword needs to be specified in the DDS for the display file in order to enable screen printing. You can either allow the system to handle the print or you can return control to your program.

Some of our custom programs return a "Function key not allowed" when using the
print button on a dumb terminal keyboard and some programs perform the desired host
print. I want to enable host printing for all our programs.

Thanks in advance.
