Re: Retrive if Enter or Field Exit was pressed

Buck, and John and p.Caroti,

Field Exit is not (and never has been) an AID-generating key.

However, used in combination with "Auto-Enter", pressing the field exit key on a field with "Auto-Enter" enabled will result in the AID byte for Enter being generated, as well as returning data to the host. See page 113 in that manual GA21-9247-2 referenced below.

So, I do not think there is any way to really tell if "field exist" has been pressed.

HTH,

Try using the AID byte in the workstation file status data structure.

What is the AID code for 'Field Exit'?
'Enter' is x'F1'

I know I can request Field Exit Required on the FFW, but I didn't
realise it was also available as an AID code.
