How to set up a KEYMAP.xxx file for an IBM 4694 50-key Keyboard Print
Documentation - QConnect

The KEYMAP.xxx file resides in the ADX_UDT1 directory on all controllers.

The KEYMAP.000 file is part of the ASM (Applied Software Maintenance) install diskette for QConnect. The ASM QConnect install diskette must be installed on every controller that is to load and support QConnect terminals.

The KEYMAP.xxx file has an extension, xxx, which represents one of the following:

    * If xxx = 000, this is the default KEYMAP file to be used if a KEYMAP file does not exist for a particular terminal number.
    * If xxx = nnn (where nnn is a terminal number), values from this file will be used for terminal nnn only.

KEYMAP Layout and Syntax

Each line within the KEYMAP file must be one of the following:

          o a blank line
          o a comment line /* this a comment */
          o a key mapping line a = 73

Note:   Several parameters formerly contained in the KEYMAP file have been
        moved to the CDIFILE.  The description here omits all parms
        which now reside in the CDI file.  If any of these parms are
        specified in the KEYMAP file, however, they take precedence
        over similar parms specified in the CDI file.  Please remove any
        obsolete parms from this file and make sure their corollary
        definitions are present in the CDI file.

/* Key Map File Syntax:                                               */
/* [key_name] = [key POS function code] /* comment . . . . . . */     */
/*                                                                    */
/* "key_name" can be left blank for no key mapping or it can be       */
/* a single key letter, number, or special function code associated   */
/* with the character generated by the keyboard.                      */
/*                                                                    */
/* "key POS function code" can either be the POS function code value  */
/*                                                                    */
/* such as: 73, 61, 95, 115, 222                                      */
/*                                                                    */
/* or it can be one of the "right side" special key values such as:   */
/*    NOKEY, NUM_00 ,NUM_000                                          */
/*                                                                    */
/* Comments begin with "/*" and end with "*/", they must began and    */
/* end on the same line.                                              */

 KEYMAP "left side" values (Key names)

Alphanumeric or special character represents code generated by the key

BKSP   = Back Space Character

SP         = Space Character

ENT      = Enter key

'C-'        =  Ctrl key held down in addition to an alphanumeric key. The other key must be represented

                   within single quotes unless the key has a special name. Examples:  C-'a'  or  C-F2

Fx      = Represents code for a function key (F1-F10)

KEYMAP "right side" values (POS Function Codes)

NOKEY       No key function code is assigned to this key.
NUM_00      sends '0','0' to the application
NUM_000     sends '0','0','0' to the application
THRTKEY     issue Document Insert (DI) open or close throat
DOCEJEC     issue Document Eject
CUT_KEY     test key assignment setting to cut the customer receipt
CUTPKEY     test key assignment setting partial cut of the receipt
CR__KEY     test key to advance the CR printer
SJ__KEY     test key to advance the SJ printer
DI__KEY     test key to advance the DI printer
DIBKKEY     test key to backup the paper in the DI printer
PTSTKEY     test key to test printing from the terminal
S1_FC       used to assign the S1 IBM system key
S2_FC       used to assign the S2 IBM system key
SCR_UP      scrolls UP electronic journal on Full Screen display
SCR_DN      scrolls DOWN electronic journal on Full Screen display


Note:  The S1 and S2 keys default to the IBM default keys.  Either of these two keys
       must be pressed in conjunction with the CTRL key. Unless you want to specify
       other keys, a definition of S1_FC and S2_FC is unnecessary.
