Does anyone have an example of how to use the DUP key in Genie ?

Hello Max,

The DUP Key functionality should be available for you already in Genie. To use this functionality, you would press Shift+Insert or, if you were in an RDF and would rather use a different key combination, you can change the combination to what you would like using the configurations described on this page: http://www.profoundlogic.com/docs/display/PUI/Dup+Key.

In addition, most browsers also provide the Paste key combination Ctrl+V. Ctrl+C is for Copy and Ctrl+X is for Cut. To select everything in the field or on the page (depending on what is focused), Ctrl+A is Select All.

To learn what shortcuts your browser provides, you can use a search engine to search for the name of your browser with "keyboard shortcuts". As an example, this is a link to the Chrome keyboard shortcuts: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179?hl=en.

We hope this helps! If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know and we'll be happy to help.

Our program currently relies on indicator 15 being seton by the DUP keyword in our DDS.
So, the key question is, how do we get the DUP key triggered, in order to get the indicator (15) seton ?



Thanks

The feature that Megan was referring to is for Rich Displays. It sounds like this problem is occurring in a 5250 screen run via Genie rather than a Rich Display.

That is correct, Scott.

I tried defining a button with an onclick event that turns on the indicator.
But the indicator in question is not defined as a function key in the DDS, so we get an error (invalid function key) when we click the button.

I have no clue how you would set on an indicator in an onclick event in 5250? That part of your message makes no sense to me.

Do you know the AID code for DUP? I don't... but if you want to do this manually, you'll need to send a 5250 response containing the appropriate AID code.

Ultimately, though, I would suggest asking Profound to support the Dup key in 5250.

I haven't got a live example, but do the following links help?
