Check to make sure there isn't a stuck key; especially Alt, Ctrl, and
Shift. If, for example, one of the Alt keys is stuck on, you would be
pressing PgDn, but the keyboard would be sending Alt+PgDn. Also check
that Scroll Lock is off.

It sounds like it might be using the old Function
keys from F25 to F30.

I can't recall ever seeing F25-F30 on a midrange computer.

We have a software that has all these keys soft coded, I just need to
know what code to send to the iSeries server to show that these keys have
been pressed, so the iSeries will do Roll Up and Roll down.

The typical keys used by most IBM i software is Page Up and Page Down.
There are rare, old examples which use F7 and F8. The only way to know
what keys the program expects is to consult the documentation (or ask
the programmers, or support desk).

If none of those options are available to you, there is always brute
force. Download one of the open source emulators like TN5250 [1] and
try all the keys and see what happens. Once you know what the 'real'
keystroke should be you can program the emulator you are using.
