Is there a way to select multiple records on a form when running in ASCII (as opposed to GUI) mode? Using 'M' seems to eliminate the previous selection, and I obviously can't do Ctrl-<click>:D.

Hi Ed,

I know that is possible. I have not been at an ASCII terminal in almost four years. I am sure one of the ASCII fans will answer your question :).

Hi Ed,

it is depending on what you want to do with the records.
in ASCII there are different key combinations for delete (CTRL+Y) and copy multiple records (CTRL+W). You can see all the possibilitys, if you type an "O" (Options) on the choice field. These Keys are defined in ttadv4171m000 (Maintain Standard Options) and can be different on your system.

If the session can handle, to do something other with multiple marked records (I know this only for "Maintain Reports"), then you can do this with "M" (Mark) and "Y" (Continue).

Hope this helps.

To select multiple lines in ASCII mode.

1st hit "Ctrl A".
Then arrow to each line you wuold like to select and hit Y.
This will select multiple lines.

If you are trying to code for this event, make sure the correct function is used. There are different functions for ASCII vs GUI.

Ctrl-A doesn't work for me on IVc3 or IVc4 ASCII.
