You may need to define key sequences for Shift and Ctrl to be applied to the next key. This enables you, for example, to use Shift+<function key> or Ctrl+PgDn key sequences.
Some terminals do not allow Interactive SQL Classic (dbisqlc) to distinguish when the ALT key is being used. To enter an ALT- key in Interactive SQL Classic, use Ctrl+A followed by the key to which the ALT modifier is to be applied. For example, to see the File menu, type Ctrl+A+F. If you use Interactive SQL Classic from a remote terminal, such as a VT100 emulator, you may be able to configure the terminal to use “emacs mode” so that sends ALT-<key> as ESC <key>. Interactive SQL Classic will also recognize these escape sequences. You can type ESC <key> yourself, but they must be typed in quick succession or the keys will be interpreted individually.
These sequences are controlled by a terminfo extension (.tix) file. Interactive SQL Classic first looks for ${TERM}.tix in ${HOME}, /opt/IQ-15_2/tix, /opt/IQ-15_2/bin, and then throughout ${PATH}. If ${TERM}.tix is not found, Interactive SQL Classic searches for default.tix in the same directories. A sample default.tix file comes with Sybase IQ.
