I have a COBOL program that has to switch from V/3000 mode to character mode
and then ask some questions. My problem is that the users (being so used to
pressing the block mode ENTER key) press the ENTER key instead of the RETURN
key which causes a keyboard lock on the users Reflection session.
 
Is there any way that my COBOL program can "sense" that the user pressed the
wrong ENTER key and accept the response and continue?
