Remarks on program function

The data for the key codes of an OPOS keyboard can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed for information.

Every keyboard is divided up into rows and columns. Row 1, column 1 is the upper left key of the keyboard. The lower right-hand key of a 90-key keyboard would be row 6, column 15. The position and the code of each key must be defined.

Note:
An example for keyboard type "TOPline" is delivered with the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS standard version as "*.asc file". If this keyboard is needed, this data should be read into the database with "oscar init DvDbOposKeyb" and "oscar init DvDbOposKeabKey".

Remarks on data fields

The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.

As with nearly all programs the following also applies here:

The entry mask for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. Some data fields may be missing.
There may be defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry masks as are fields where entry is optional.
If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking onto the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
In some cases you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1>, depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.
