Re: Catching F3/F12 from QCMDEXC?

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

I don't think this works in this case.  What you are talking
about is true if they cancel Prompting of the command.  But,
QCMDEXC has already been called.  QCAPCMD didn't return
anything either.

This is like if option 5 was doing a STRSEU OPTION(5).
While they're looking at the source, they hit F3.  How does
that F3 get transferred back to the program that called the
STRSEU command using QCMDEXC?

I know where you're coming from.  And what you describe
works fine when they just cancel the prompting of the
command.  But I'm showing nothing in the job log when the
user F3s out of a PDM display.
