Would an auto-enter on the field fire if a tab key was used to exit the field? You might be able to turn on auto-enter and if tab fired that condition the program would get control but you would see that the enter key was pressed, not that tab was pressed, but this might give you enough to do what you wanted to do with a tab key (like maybe lookup a description to put out on the screen)

no...the TAB key doesn't return control to the program so there's no way
you could check for a TAB.
Thanks,

Yes it does, I specifically check for enter key to execute validation
routines.

Does this tell us if the Enter key was pressed? (If it does, then
this is the only way to know that the Enter key was pressed?)

Hi,
To be honnest, I never used *INK-Indicators, nor did I use numbered
indicators for function keys.
Even 20 years ago we used position 369 in the file data structure and
checked the hex value of the function key pressed.
(The file data structure and hex values were included from a copy
member).
In this way it was quite easy to work with function keys.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: Quick question on indicators - more philosophical than

else
Is anyone still using the old indicator style of INKC, INKA, etc.?
Is there any reason why this should even be used today?
I know some are advocating using no indicators at all in a
program....but
is that not one of the strengths of RPG?
