OA51239: HOD KEYBOARD BUFFERING OPTION WILL NOT SAVE TO 'YES'

IBM Host On-Demand 12.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The keystroke buffering setting does not get saved to Yes after
  adding a kmp (key remap) to the session.  User has to enter the
  preferences a 2nd time to reset it to yes, the setting does not
  remain set to yes.
  
  Use any 3270 session with HOD 12 or 12.0.0.1.
  
  1. Start session, no need to logon, just have green screen in
  3270 session.
  2. Got Edit -> Pref -> Keyboard
  3. Set Keyboard buffering to Yes, then click on Open to add a
  keyboard map.
  4. Add a .kmp file and Click OK,
  5. Click on OK.  Notice the Save option is greyed out.  If you
  select Save As, it just takes you to the kmp file to save. So
  just click on OK.
  6. Now go back into Edit -> Pref -> Keyboard and the keyboard
  buffering is reset to No again.  It does not get saved.  You
  have to reset it to yes, and click ok again.
  7.  If you go back into keyboard, you will find keyboard
  buffering is again set to No.  It won't save as Yes.
