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

There might be something that involves the AID byte - I did a little search and did not find anything that said a Delete keypress puts a value in the INFDS for the DSPF in position 369 (I think that's the position).

But maybe it'd be worth testing it - declare the INFDS, try a delete after an EXFMT, and see if there's anything there.

Maybe!!

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.

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?
