Hi All,

I was just shown a vendor-supplied program and display file modified and
used by one of my customers that in its latest version gets to a particular
format and at that point does not respond to any attention keys, e.g.
function keys, ENTER, HELP key, etc. In debug I set a breakpoint on the
EXFMT stmt and the following stmt, and it gets to the EXFMT, but never the
next stmt.  My telnet client, which normally shows which attention key was
pressed, shows nothing.  All other keys act normally -- I can key data into
fields, field exit, use tab and arrow keys.  I can use SysReq and display
the job or cancel it.

The display file looks normal with the exception that a bunch of webfacing
lines (normally %%WB comments) have been changed to XXWB comments, because
SDA will not work with them present.  The parti9cular format in question is
not a subfile control format nor a window; it's just a plain format with a
lot of labels and data fields on it.  Various function keys are enabled,
including F3, F4, F12 with no conditioning indicators, and using CFxx, not
CAxx.

This is on a V5R2 machine, with current PTFs as far as I know.

Any ideas?
