Re: PC5250 not accepting input

Mark,
I have had this happen for a very long time (very occasionally), and am starting to get a few more. We are thinking it has do with users getting dual screens, and are switching apps more frequently. Some of the users said that they had been away from their session for several minutes, and when they switched back, the key functions were gone.
I just had a service call with IBM last week on this. We wound up re-installing Client access on those users machines (COMPLETE UN-INSTALL, REINSTALL).

Of course, since this happens very infrequently, it may take a few weeks to see if that takes care of the problem.

No scroll lock. I can have multiple sessions open, and it's only doing it on one session. That's seems to be the issue here. However, I can't recall which keys it they were either.

Thanks, at least it's not just me... :)

I've had this happen to me before. It seems to happen when I press 2 keys at
the same time, but I'm not sure which ones.

The only way I have found around it is to shutdown the session and restart
it.

All,

Did anyone ever have an issue where PC 5250 (V5.9) wouldn't accept input
(I.e. Enter, Function Keys, etc, etc)? I can type in fields on the screen. I
can use a field exit and keys like that, it just won't accept function keys
or enter.

Thanks,

Mark
