Sets IBM keyboard on AP/Native and AP/DOS systems.

Syntax

result = oconv(tbl.type : vm : keyboard.data, 'u80ba')

Description

sets the IBM keyboard on AP/Native and AP/DOS systems only.

The valid values for 'tbl.type' are:

0 upper case
1 lower case
2 control
3 alternate

'keyboard.data' is a string of ASCII-hex values which relate to the hex value of the keys for the particular type being updated.

Example

x=oconv('0':char(254): 'FF1B21402324255E','u80ba')

In this example, we set the upper case values of the first seven keys of the
top row (esc, !, @, #, $, % and ^).

x=oconv('1':char(253): 'FF1B313233343536','u80ba')

Here, we set the lower case values of the first seven keys of the top row to
esc, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 respectively.
