When user is interacting with screen , even though the field is protected by the DFHBMSCA macro, this field becomes editable can anu one tell me this is the limitation of the macro.
ex: MOVE DFHBMPRF to fielda. |

Hello and welcome to the forum,
The "hardware protection" does not prevent the MOVE. . .
What does this have to do with Caps Lock? |

| You can try that , when a field is protected in caps lock off mode becomes unprotected , even Im suprised on this we have done of lot of testing and contacted many cics experts could not get the write answer. |

Hello,
This does not happen on any of several cics screens i used to experiment.
Somethng is wrong with the code, the panel definition, or possibly the terminal emulator (but i don't have any idea how this would happen due to the emulator).
Does the changed value make it into the program or is this only on the screen? |

Hi Dick,

I was also thinking of the same... probably the emulator... if the CAPS LOCK key is mapped to one of the functional keys, a code could be in place in the program to change the field to UNPROTECTED... 
kusmaravi.
1. Is this program written by you ?
2. Are all the fields in the screen becoming UNPROTECTED.. or only some ?
3. Can you post all the functional key handling that you have in your program. |

Program is written by me,
Im handling the function keys using the EVALUATE EIBAID= DFHPF1......
, now the fields for different instance of sending the screens are
made protected in order to prevent the user from changing it. On those
fields are becoming unprotected. If CAps lock on treated has PF key then
it is intresting direction to think at and still dont understand how does the
system will reset the attribute.
Valuse are not coming into the program only restricted to scrren.
I have seen the expanded copy book of DFHAID could not find any thing realted to capslock DFHNULL ,DFHENTER,DFHCLEAR,DFHCLRP ,DFHPEN
DFHOPID DFHMSRE DFHSTRF DFHTRIG ramining are PAkeys and PF keys
Please help. |

Hi,
As it has been already told, its my strong guess that it might have to do something with your terminal emulator.
1. Did you verify your key mapping in the emulator for the CAPS LOCK key ?
2. Are others, who are using this transaction, having the same feature ?
3. Can you post all the functional key handling that you have in your program without disclosing any proprietary information ( If possible the whole EVALUATE and other paragraphs being performed inside .. ) |

Hello,
FWIW - i know of no way for the CAPS LOCK to cause/have this symptom.
Does this happen for only this 1 program? Can anyone else get this result on their terminal? |
