I am currently using SQL*forms3.0 to mimic SQL*ReportWriter in order
to present a tutorial to students using the Oracle package at the local
college. The system will run on a VAX 11/785 using VT200 terminals, and
forms part of a suite of tutorial packages.
The problem I have found is that SQL*ReportWriter uses a particular key
(F17 in the case of the VT200's) in order to Accept Query. As the tutorial
is used, I wish the student to press this key to progress to the next page,
via a Key-Nxtfld trigger. Unfortunately this particular key in SQL*Forms
is the Clear_Field key and the manual tells me that it cannot be remapped
as it is in common use.
Has anyone come across, or can suggest a solution to the problem ?
Why does Oracle use completely different keymaps for Forms & ReportWriter ?
Thanks in advance
