DDS Display File 1

[Oche]

Is there a way to field exit to other fields within a specific order?

 

[jmd0252]

do you mean,, jump down 2 fields,, or use the tab key. When you say different order, are some of the fields optional?

The short answer is no.

The long answer is that you can put indicators on each input field and set their attributes to auto advance when field exit is used. The attribute is CHECK(ER). This will return control to the program. Use RTNCSRLOC to determine what field the cursor is in and set the field inidcators.

There is a DDS keyword for exactly that, as a matter of fact:

FLDCSRPRG (Cursor Progression Field) keyword for display files

Da mihi sis crustum Etruscum cum omnibus in eo.
