Re: Configuring keyboard wedges

Some that I worked with (long ago) you could pretty much program any pc keyboard action. We were filling a 5250 screen of order numbers so we chose the "tab" to move the cursor to the next field. The user pressed ENTER when done. Even if a single field on a 5250 screen, you would need a field exit or enter (because your scanner needs to act like a keyboard.).

I can configure a COMPSEE keyboard wedge to perform a scanner

particular wedge for a different "suffix"; let's say a LF and a CR.
What result should I expect? An LF only?

I don't know much about keyboard wedge's ... but wouldn't it need to
send a ENTER keycode instead of a cr and/or lf?
