When i press page down key in cics screen , all the editable fields in the screen were disappeared. I need to retain the values.

After receiving the map , program is failed. So i handled the exception to return to the normal screen. Also I am using FSET for all unprotected fields in my map. How to handle the values which are disappeared from screen(when i press page down key). please help.

Thanks,
Barat

What key do you have defined as page down? Why did you not tell us in your post?

Thanks Robert.

I pressed pagedown key in my keyboard to come out of the cics screen.

In CICS map I usedF8 for paged own. Scrolling logic is working fine.
Map is failing only if I press page down key in my keyboard.

If we press page down key(in my store), control automatically comes out the online region and if press again control goes to online.

Mainly page down key is used to navigate between online(CICS) and batch(ISPF) screens

Thanks

Check your terminal emulator to determine what mainframe key is mapped to the pagedown key on your keyboard. Once you know that, you can handle that key in your CICS program.
