Creating Data Entry Screens

8–3

The entry register data field may be inserted anywhere on the screen,
however, no text may follow the data entry field. This means that you must
insert any text or a display field before the data entry field. The number of
character positions required for the data entry field depends upon the register
information you provide.

To create a data entry screen:

1. Select Screen Builder from the Edit File - Option Selection menu.

The Screen Builder for the main menu (screen #1) is displayed.

2. Press [F8], enter the display screen #, and select Data Entry

Screen type.

The Screen Builder for a data entry screen appears.

3. Create all of the screen text and, if used, a data display field. Refer to

Chapter 7 for information on how to insert a data display field. The same
procedures apply to a data display on the data entry screen.

4. Position the cursor where you want to insert the data entry field.
