Keyboard map for IBM laptop to use Client Access

[Sriram N A]

Is there a standard keyboard map file which can be used with the IBM laptop
I use occasionally to connect a green screen session to the iSeries? The
keyboard mappings for the extended keyboard ("US Enhanced") do not work as
expected - for example, the End key does not take the cursor to the end of
the line of text even though I have mapped the End key to [End of Line].

Is a laptop keyboard mapping file available??

Hi Sriram,

Customize your keyboad mapping for the End Key.
You will see an keyboard icon in your client access tool bar.
This will display the default IBM AS400 key mapping.
Select the End key, displayed in the Keyboad.

You will see the default Base functionality as [erase eof],
Now change this to [end field].

Save this keyboard mapping file and use this mapping file for future
sessions.

Ummm... the problem is, the key board physically in front of me (the laptop
keyboard layout) does not match the key layout shown on the screen.

I did carry out the key mapping to the 'End' key shown on the screen as you
have described below, but it does not affect the behaviour of the End key on
the laptop in any way. (The End key does nothing on the laptop even after
the mapping).

So I guess I need to see a key-mapping screen with the keys laid out as seen
on the laptop. This is not part of the default Client Access keymap files
(*.KMP) supplied...

You have got the keyboard type in the device description mismatched to the
laptop. You might try checking that the PC keyboard is defined correctly (to
Windows) then delete the device description on the AS/400 and letting it
recreate automatically...

I lost you there - device description on the AS/400? The PC key map is
stored on the local PC and installed with the Client Access PC software. It
is not loaded from the AS/400...

On the AS/400, there is a device description that the PC connects to. That
device has a keyboard type - it performs a similar function to a PC keyboard
map. If the keyboard type assocaited with the device description doesn't
match the PC keyboadr map you get funny characters appearing. OK?

You want to set the End key to [End of Line] - that works.
You might also want to set Ctrl-C to [Edit Copy], likewise Ctrl-V and
Ctrl-X to [Edit Paste] and [Edit Cut] so you can use the same shortcuts
as in Windows.
