Is there anyway to the function keys to work on PuTTY when remoting into a SCO 3.2 server?
Generally, function keys behave in the manner determined by the terminal type set, e.g. VT100 or whatever.
The important thing is to ensure that the terminal type that SCO thinks it has connected, set by the TERM variable, agrees exactly with the terminal type that PuTTY is set to emulate.
I guess that's where my problem is. I need to know...
I have pcs running Windows XP and QvtTerm, which works fine, but I need to upgrade away from those pcs and QvtTerm won't run on Win 7 nor 10.
Otherwise, the keys on the keyboard won't map correctly to the keys that the O/S is expecting.
Set the host terminal type to scoansi and set the putty function keys to sco and the backspace to ctrl h. Set the terminal to 25 lines. I generally set the scrollback to zero.
Let me try that right now
By
do you mean rows???

And to add more, I have an old application titled DCPA(Data Capture Processing Application). And it is in this software that I rely on the function keys.
Yes. (Of course.)
Maybe you can display the current terminal type with
echo $TERM
<servername> # echo $TERM
ansi
<servername> #
