Return to the CA Tips
Highlight your source while in Client Access.
Jason McMicking from Mount Vernon Mills adds this tip so that you can
key hex values directly into your source code using client access via a
customized keyboard map. This will be helpful to those of you who wrote that you
don't program in RPG but would still like to highlight your source.
Jason writes:
"Another method besides copying the hex values is to map the hex values
to your emulation session. In your client access emulator, go to keyboard setup
under assist and select customize keyboard. Then say you wanted hex 22(highlight)
applied to ctl + F2, you would map APL 22 as the action for CTL F2. Then
when you comment a line and press Ctl + F2 the remainder of the line
will be highlighted. Using apl will give you the hex equivalent of the
number after, which works on commented lines in SEU.
I've encountered problems when I put these values prior to position 6 or
on an uncommented line."
As a side note, when you enter the APL 22 (or other hex code that you
want) into the client access keyboard map, make sure it is not enclosed
in [brackets] like many of the other mapped keys in client access.
