Chapter 3 Defining Screen Tables : Using Fields with Default Attributes

Using Fields with Default Attributes

You can create fields for your screen tables that contain default attributes. You can then use the default functionality of the field. You can customize the fields at a later time. This is useful if you want to use the field for testing purposes and are not concerned with the presentation of the field.

Creating Screen Fields with Predefined Attributes

To create screen fields with predefined attributes, complete the following tasks:

1.

Place the cursor one column to the left of where you want the data in the field to begin in the image area.

2.

Press PF6.

If there is enough room, a new field is added to the right of where the cursor is positioned.

A marker character, that is, logical not sign (¬) or caret (^), and a sample data element (A or 9) appear. The data element indicates the start of the data in the field. A definition containing default information automatically appears in the field definition area.
