DDS keyword UNLOCK

["Smith, Nelson" <NSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Due to a special situation in dealing with a client-server application
implemented with a screen-scraper, I need to have automatic input to my
program from a subfile record selection without locking the keyboard.

On the subfile, I am using a single-character input field with CHECK(ER) for
auto-entry as my record selection field and that works well.  However, when
the program accepts input from this field I need to leave the keyboard
unlocked due to other stuff the screen-scraper is doing (moving the
highlight bar around, etc, which is causing keyboard error beeps).  The
UNLOCK keyword seems to be just what I need, however the compiler tells me
it cannot be used with subfiles.  The DDS Reference manual makes no mention
of this limitation.

If the manual is wrong and compiler is right (which I assume to be the
case), does anyone know of a similar function or work-around that can be
used with subfiles, or am I going to have to byte-the-bullet and write my
own fake subfile?
