Designing and Using Forms
CURSOR CONTROL KEYS, ROLL
U~
ROLL DOWN. These keys may be used to position
the cursor in a transmit-only field.
CLEAR LINE/CLEAR DISPLAY. The Clear Line and Clear Display operations perform as
follows, in Format mode:
Clear Line: If the cursor is positioned in an unprotected or transmit-only field, all displaying
and non-displaying characters (except protected video enhancements) are cleared from the
current cursor position through the end of the current field.
Clear Display: If the cursor is positioned within an unprotected or transmit-only field, all
displaying and non-displaying characters (except protected video enhancements) are cleared
from the current cursor position through the end of the current field. In addition, all subse-
quent unprotected fields are cleared.
Any change of enhancements between the ((start field" and ((stop field"locations will be
cleared whenever they lie within the range of a clear display or clear line operation. If the
cursor is in a protected field, these commands have no effect.
INSERT CHARACTER. The insert character function affects only those characters from
the cursor position through the end of the current field. If the cursor is within a protected
field, it automatically moves to the first character position of the next unprotected field when
the first character is inserted. The cursor moves to the next unprotected field when it reaches
the last position of the current field. (When the last unprotected field is filled, the cursor
remains outside it, and only returns to the uhome up"position when the next character is
entered.)
DELETE CHARACTER. When the cursor is positioned within an unprotected or transmit-
only field, the delete character function affects only those characters from the cursor position
through the end of the current field. A protected video enhancement and/or an alternate
character set are not altered by the delete character function. If the cursor is not within a
protected or transmit-only field, the delete character function has no effect.
INSERT/DELETE CHARACTER WITH WRAPAROUND. Insert With Vvrap and Delete
With Wrap will function as simple Insert and Delete functions without wrap.
INSERT/DELETE LINE. These functions are disabled when Format mode is entered.
MARGINS AND TABS. All margins and tabs are cleared when the terminal enters Format
mode.
NEXT PAGE/PREV PAGE. The cursor is moved to the first unprotected location on the
new page.
