C$KEYSTROKE

The C$KEYSTROKE routine allows keystroke configuration using the Acucobol-GT syntax.

Syntax:

CALL "C$KEYSTROKE" USING keySetting

Parameters:

keySetting

PIC X(n)

is the KEYSTROKE setting you would use for the Acucobol-GT KEYSTROKE environment variable.

Example:

“EDIT=Next TERMINATE=13 ^M”

The last item in this setting is the keycode. See Acucobol-GT key codes for the list of supported key codes.

The following EDIT values are supported: Backspace, Delete, Down, Erase-All, Erase-Field, Erase-To-End, First, Last, Next, Page-Down, Page-Up, Previous, Up.

This routine is implemented for compatibility with Acucobol-GT. isCOBOL offers a native syntax to set keystrokes. See Keyboard Configuration for details.

Examples:

Example - Set the exception of Control-A to 1 und F1 to 101 using ACU keystroke syntax

call "c$keystroke" using "EXCEPTION=1 ^A"

call "c$keystroke" using "EXCEPTION=101 k1"
