Resolving The Problem
This document explains that Access for Windows PC5250 or Access Client Solutions 5250 Display emulator's function keys do not work with enhanced Function Key or Function Lock (F-Lock) enabled.
Some modern keyboards support standard and enhanced modes for the function (F1-F12) keys on the keyboard. This mode is toggled using a key labeled F-Lock on the keyboard. If the function keys are in enhanced mode, the function keys will do nothing when pressed in a 5250 session. This may also result in an X -f or similar error in the operator information area (OIA), depending on what key code the keyboard is attempting to send in enhanced mode. Note that some keyboards reset the F-Lock state after every stop and restart. For more information, you should refer to the keyboard manufacturer's documentation and support.
