RE: Can we use the Delete key in a display file?



The obvious question would be does the 5250 session respond to a delete key....in an input field it deletes a character to right...if there are no input capable fields  is the delete key even allowed.

Subject: Can we use the Delete key in a display file?

Again, the simplest question baffles me.  I would like to use the
keyboard's Delete key to signal that a record is to be deleted.

How does one do that?
