Booth,

I am only surmising that you want to use the Delete key to do something like signal the deletion of a record. I doubt that this type of thing can be done in the 5250 datastream because the Delete key signals the deletion of a character at the cursor's position.

I searched the 5494 Control Unit manual, which has most of the workstation data structure values for special keys, like Page Up. Could not find it, except as described above. Googled: Could not find anything. The lack of a hit, of course, does not mean there is not something somewhere, only that I failed to find anything.

Subject: 5250 Catch the delete key

5250 tells me when a user presses an F-key, Enter, page-up, or page-down key. What about the Delete key? Is that available too?
