IC63663: INTERRUPT ON VI IS NOT HANDLED WELL WHEN VI IS CALLED FROM MENU DBACCESS.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you invoke the vi editor from menu dbaccess and then
  interrupt (control-c or backspace), the interrupt is not handled
  well. It does not return you to the dbaccess menu.
  

Local fix

• Use the vi methods (:w! and :q!) for exiting the editor.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All Unix users, using an editor that doesn't ignore          *
  * interrupts                                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * dbaccess is not ignoring the interrupt signal from vi. vi    *
  * will pass this signal to dbaccess which will kill            *
  * dbaccess and destroy the parent process' terminal settings.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Upgrade to IDS 11.50.xC6 and above.                          *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem first fixed in IDS 11.50.xC6 so the interrupt signal is
  ignored and that the child signal is handled.
