The Data Entry prompt is the word or words displayed to the
operator at data entry. The prompt asks the operator to enter
specific data. At data entry, underscores also appear with the
prompt to indicate the maximum number of characters the
operator may enter. The maximum number of characters is set at
the Number of Characters prompt. See "Setting the Number of
Characters" in this chapter.
◆ This field is optional. If you press e only, the printer
assigns the prompt "Field nn" (nn represents the numeric
order in which the field appears in the format).
