Help Does Not Work

Symptoms – when the help key, or ALT-F1, is pressed, the display flashes but returns to the current screen. Sometimes, the session locks.

Correction – go to User Profile Table Maintenance, and press F8 – Maintain General HELP options. This screen should display ->

This is correct; it means no entries have been done. If it does not look like this, and says ‘F10 – Copy record’ on the bottom, then a record has been added. Press F11 twice to delete it, and return to these defaults.

If this isn’t the problem, do a DSPJOBLOG and see if this message is there.
