To send the field(s) to the application program for processing, do one of the following,
depending on how the application program was designed:
• Press the Enter key.
• Press the CrSel key after positioning the cursor on an attention field. (Attention
fields are marked with &’s and spaces.)
• Position the mouse cursor to point to the desired attention field and click the
right mouse button.
Sending data
To send the displayed data to the host application before continuing to enter data:
1. Check to be sure that all fields required by the application have been filled.
Note: When a data character is entered in the next-to-last character position on the screen,
the audible alarm sounds to remind you that the cursor is near the end of the screen. If
data entry continues, the cursor “wraps”’ and reappears in the first available character
position of the screen. Subsequently entered characters replace displayed characters,
resulting in loss of previous entries.
2. Press the Enter key to send the displayed data to the host application.
3. Press the Clear key. This has the following effect:
• Erases all displayed data on the screen
• Returns the cursor to the first available character position
• Signals the host application that a “clear” operation has occurred.
