Joe,
This is quite goofy. I have a 3180 terminal with a Symbol LS1900
"wedged" scanner. On a 3197 terminal in the same shop, I have a Symbol
LS 3070 WIRELESS scanner set up.
I have a simple program where a Part# is scanned, followed by the
scanning of the serial#. When the part # is scanned on the WIRELESS,
the cursor jumps right to the serial number field, and when the serial#
is scanned, and there are no database errors, then the record is
accepted, and the original screen re-appears.
However, on the WIRED scanner, the keyboard "locks" with each scan -
with the message "function key not allowed". The scanned data shows in
the Part number field, but the reset key must be pressed on the keyboard
b/4 continuing.

Subject: RE: Make/Break on enter key (3180 terminal)
From: Don Cavaiani
Does anyone know the difference between "make only on enter key"
versus "make/break on enter key" when setting up a "wedged" scanner on
an IBM 3180 terminal?
I THINK this has to do with whether the scanner sends both a keydown and
a keyup sequence when you hit the enter key on the device. My guess is
that it's more important for Unix and PC applications; I don't know what
relevance it has in the block mode world of the 3180.
Does either or both work?
Joe
