Lets you specify the terminal mode from within DEC DATATRIEVE.

       This function duplicates the ability of the SET [NO] APPLICATION_
       KEYPAD command. The function form of FN$KEYPAD_MODE, however,
       allows you to change the keypad mode inside compound statements.

       This function is not available in a DECwindows Motif environment.

1  –  Input

       You must specify one of two parameters:

       o  APPLICATION specifies application keypad mode.

       o  NUMERIC specifies numeric keypad mode.

       This function is not case sensitive; you can type APPLICATION or
       NUMERIC in either uppercase or lowercase. The words must be in
       either single or double quotation marks, and the spelling must be
       exact.

       None.
