Thanks Louis,
I am using Client Access.
What I was hoping to find was a way for the program to control settingÂkeyboard buffering on and off/
I do not wantÂto have to have the user go through the steps to do it. That opens too large a can of worms. :)

Thanks,

Jeff,

If using something like Client Access, maybe you could record a macro in
order to set on/off the keyboard buffering...

I was afraid that that would be the case.

Jeff,

Keyboard buffering can be set on/off either globally with CHGSYSVAL
(QKBDBUF) or, locally, with the QWSSETWS API but, IIRC, if you are using
an emulation program (think Client Access) the control of the buffering
depends on your emulation software.

HTH,

Is there any way to dynamicaly turn keyboard buffering off and on from an
application?
I have an application that is prmiaraly designed to run on a scanner
(display width 20 col), but can sometimes be invoked at a normal 5250
emulator session.
This application normaly accepts a 20 char field on the first line, as
well
as a 10 char field on the
next line and a 7 digit field on the third line.
The field on the first line has a CHECK(ER) keyword associated with it.
The barcode being scanned is 40 characters.
When I scan the barcode at a normal workstation session, it fills the
first and second field, and then when my next format is displayed, puts
the
remainder on the only input field for that format.

There does not appear to be any way to prevent this from happening except
to disable keyboard buffering before scanning the barcode.
It appears that this is the default behavior for scanners as when I use
this on a scanner, there is no problem.

This is the first of many applications that must be enhanced to enable
the
scanning of the 40 char barcode, so a solution that involves screen
changes
or major program changes is not desired.

All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
