Here is the problem:

Recently we installed a couple of terminals in the library, running a program
to access the 'books' database we have. A lot of inexperinced ppl user the prog
and while 'playing around' with the keyboard trying things around they HIT
the PA2 key. They panic right after the CMS SUBSET message comes up and they
think 'they did something bad'. Is there anyway to disable the PA2 key ?
We tried something with Diag '54'x but I dont think it's what we want.
The library program is written in COBOL.
Thanks...
