Operating Procedures

Assigning a Coax Printer

Each display station in a system configuration can be assigned a host printer that can
generate copies of information displayed on the screen. These copies can be used to
maintain records of display station/CPU transactions.

For 88-key, 102-key, 104-key, and 122-key k e yboards, press and hold the Alt key, then
press the Ident key to display the Assign Printer condition symbol

Data Entry Function

The data entry function consists of writing data messages in an acceptable form for
computer processing. As messages are enter ed through the keyboard, they are displayed
on the screen either as unformatted information or according to a program-determined
format. Attributes of the formatted screen f ields control the amount and type of entered
data (alphanumeric or numeric).

Figure 4-1 on Page 4-3 shows a typical formatted screen. All fields on the screen are
preceded by a nondisplayed attribute character and are defined as protected or unpro­tected (entry) fields. For protected f ields, the application program fills in the information
following the attribute characters. Attempts to change displayed information in a pro­tected field cause a “Go Elsewhere” condition symbol (
status row . The unprotected (or entry) fields accept ne w or re vi sed information from
the operator. Some application programs fur ther designate an entry field by displaying
the cursor in the unprotected field’ s first character position.

Alphanumeric Field

Figure 4-1. Typical Formatted Screen

Unprotected fields are classified as either alphanumeric or numeric. Alphanumeric
fields can accommodate both alphabetic and numeric data characters. Numeric fields
are controlled by the application program so that attempts to enter characters other
than digits 0 through 9, a period, a Dup key, or a minus sign result in an error. On
international keyboards, the comma can be entered instead of the period. Display
stations with Data Entry keyboards automatically shift into Numeric mode when the
cursor enters a numeric field.

Data characters in unprotected fields can also be displayed as intensified (brighter) fields.
In applications requiring use of confidential information, both the protected and unpro­tected fields can be programmed to be nondisplayed fields.

Note: Use of nondisplayed fields precludes visual verification of entered data before

transmission to the CPU.

Before you can begin entering data characters on the screen, the display station must
access the CPU and its application program. Access is usually accomplished through use
of the Attention, Progr am Access (PA), Program Function (PF), Clear, or Enter key, or
through a series of sign-on commands and programmed CPU responses. This series is
initiated when the display station comes online. Contact your supervisor or refer to a
system user’s guide f or appropriate program-accessing procedures.

Operating Procedures

Numeric Lock Mode

Numeric Lock mode is set or reset in Offline Setup. The Numeric Lock feature allows
fields to be defined to accept only the entry of the digits 0 through 9, Period (.),
Minus (-), and Dup keys (and comma [,] on some international keyboards). When
the cursor enters a numeric field, the NUM symbol appears on the operator status
row, and only the permitted characters can be entered. If you attempt to enter
nonnumeric characters in a numeric field, the keyboard locks. Locking the keyboard
turns off the keyboard click if it was on, and turns the keyboard click on if it was off.
Press the Reset key to restore normal operation.

On T ypew riter keyboards, the display station goes into lowercase mode when the cursor
enters a numeric field. On Data Entry keyboards, the display station goes into upper­case mode when the cursor enters a numeric field.

Nonnumeric characters can be entered in numeric fields by doing the following:

For Data Entry keyboards and Typewriter keyboards, press the Shift key (
uppercase characters in a numeric field.

For Data Entry keyboards only , press the Alpha key (
acter in a numeric field.

Note that using the Shift Lock key does not override the Numeric Lock feature.

See “Numeric Lock” on Page 3-9 for information on how to set the Numeric Lock.

Cursor Select Data Entry

The Cursor Select key , Cr Sel (Cursr Sel for 88-k ey keyboards), can be used to select
certain data fields from a formatted screen. The application program must define
selectable fields by writing the appropriate attribute. These data fields are read by
the application program for additional processing.

Each selectable data field is preceded by an appropriate field attribute character and a
designator character . Designator characters precede one of two types of fields: selection
fields and attention fields. Items in a selection field can be selected with the Cursor
Select key and the program can be notified of the selection by selecting an attention
field.

A nonselected selection field is preceded by a question mark (?) that changes to a
greater than symbol (>) when the field is selected. Attention fields are preceded by an
ampersand (&) or a space. These symbols do not change when an attention field is
selected.

4-6 701408-002

T o select or deselect a field, move the cursor to co ver the appropriate designator character
or any character in the field and press the Cursor Select key. The question mark preced­ing a field changes to a greater than symbol. If the wrong field is selected, it can be
deselected by pressing the Cursor Select key again in the same field. The greater than
symbol preceding a field changes to a question mark after the field has been deselected.

For some programs, when you finish selecting fields, press the Enter key to send the
fields to the host application program for further processing. The selected fields can also
be sent by selecting an attention field designator character using the Cursor Select key.
The ampersand and space characters designate attention fields. Mo ve the cursor to cover
any character in the field and press the Cursor Select key to send the attention f ield data
along with data in any other selected field on the screen.

Exiting the Cursor Select operation depends on the program in use. Refer to a user’s
guide for your application for the proper procedure.

Data Editing Function

After a data message has been composed, you can change the information before send­ing it to the CPU or you can call up previously entered data messages for editing.

Operating Procedures

Use the Attention, PA, PF , F, Clear, or Enter key to call up previously entered data mes­sages, or use a series of sign-on commands and programmed CPU responses. This series
is initiated when the display station comes online. Contact your supervisor or refer to a
system user’ s guide for appropriate recalling procedures.

All keys described in “Data Entry Function” on Page 4-2 can also be used in editing data
messages. In addition, the following ke ys can be used to add or delete information:

Entry Assist Functions

This section describes the Entry Assist functions f or display stations attached to 88-key,
102-key , 104-key, and 122-key keyboards.

The Entry Assist functions (formatting controls, cursor movement, and editing func­tions) are activated by entering Document mode (PF13 or F1) and pressing the Change
Format key (PF15 or F3). A format scale a ppears at the bottom of the screen that allows
format parameters to be altered. Cursor movement and editing controls are given to
certain keys upon entry into Document mode.

Entering Document Mode

When the display station enters Document mode, the DOC message is displayed on
the status row. The DOC message disappears when the display station is taken out of
Document mode.

Format Controls

When the display station is in Document mode, press the Change Format key to display
the format scale. This scale appears at the bottom of the display screen. A reverse video
block cursor is displayed on the format scale in the same column position as the chosen
cursor in the display area (the cursor’s vertical position has no ef fect on the format scale
cursor’s position). See Figure 5-1 for an e xample of the format scale.

T o hide the format scale, press the Change Format ke y again.

Use the Cursor Left (

) and Cursor Right ( ) keys to mov e the format scale cursor .
Once the format scale cursor is in position, press the appropriate format function key.
When a function key is pressed, the format scale cursor disappears and the appropriate
format symbol is displayed in its place. To make the cursor reappear, press the Cursor
Left or Cursor Right key .

All of the format parameters are saved whenever the display station exits Document
mode. The last values established for the format parameters before exiting Document
mode are in effect when the display station returns to Document mode. The following
format parameters (shown with their corresponding format symbols) can be changed on
the format scale:

• Left margin (<)

• Right margin (>)

• Tab stops ( _ )

• End-of-line signal position (*)

• Alternate right margin type ( | )

• Format scale origin (changes the scale origin from 1 to 0 and vice versa)

Left and Right Margins

To set or move the left or right margin, move the format scale cursor to the desired
position and press the less than symbol (< ) key for the left margin or the greater than
symbol (>) key for the right margin. The symbol is displa yed on the format scale in the
selected position. Only one left margin and one right margin can be defined on the
format scale at a time.

When a margin is redefined, the pre vious margin symbol is replaced by the new symbol.
T ab stops and the end-of-line signal marker are retained, e ven if they are placed outside
the new margins. If the new left margin is to the right of the old right margin, the right
margin is moved to its default position (the far right scale position). If the new right
margin is to the left of the old left margin, the left mar gin is moved to its default position
(the far left scale position). The right mar gin cannot be entered in the left margin default
position, and vice versa.

701408-002 5-3

Entry Assist

When data is entered between the margins, the cursor can be located over the left
margin column, and data can be entered in this column. The cursor wraps before it reaches
the right margin column. Data cannot be entered in this column during normal typing.

Even though a margin is defined and the display station is in Document mode, data can
still be entered to the left of the left margin or the right of the right margin. The left and
right margins are established to stop the cursor during normal data entry. The Cursor
Left and Cursor Right keys allow you to mov e the cursor beyond the margins wher e data
can be entered and modified the same as between the margins.

Alternate Right Margin Type

The standard right margin remains in effect during Document mode whether the Word
Wrap function (described on Page 5-6) is active or not. Some typing situations call for a
margin release in which no right margin is observed. Setting the alternate right mar gin
type allows you to define a right margin that is in ef fect when Word Wrap is on and that
is ignored when W ord Wrap is off.

When the right margin is disabled (the alternate right margin is set and Word Wrap is
turned off), the right side of the screen acts as the right margin and text wraps at the
screen’s margin, rega rdless of word di visions. When W ord Wrap is turned back on, the
right margin previously in effect is reinstated.

To give an existing right margin the alternate right margin attribute, place the format
scale cursor over the right margin symbol and press the Cursor Select key. The greater
than symbol turns into a broken vertical bar ( ¦ ), indicating that the right margin is
released when the Word Wrap function is turned off. To restor e the standard right
margin, place the cursor over the broken vertical bar and press Cursor Select again. The
greater than symbol (>) returns to the format scale.

Tab Stops

Setting tab stops on the format scale allows the tab keys to function the way the y do on
a typewriter, treating the defined column positions as tab stops. Once they are set, tab
stops are used in Document mode by pressing the Forward T ab (
(

) key to move the cursor to the ne xt tab stop to the right or left.

T ab stops are set by placing the format scale cursor in the desir ed position and pressing
the Forward Tab key. The format scale displays an underscore ( _ ) in the new tab stop
position unless a margin symbol or end-of-line signal symbol is in the selected position.
Even if the tab stop symbol cannot be displayed in a position, the tab function is still in
effect.

Up to 20 tab stops can be defined in any position on the format scale. Attempts to enter
more than 20 tab stops are ignored.

T o clear a tab stop, place the format scale cursor on the tab stop symbol in question and
press the Delete Character key (
tab stops from the format scale at once, press the Clear key. All tab stop symbols are
removed from the format scale.

End-of-Line Signal

For the end-of-line signal to work, the audible alarm feature must be tur ned on. When the
end-of-line signal is set, the display station sounds the audible alarm as the cursor enters
the selected column position. This function can be used to warn of the approach of the
right bell on a typewriter .

To set the end-of-line signal, place the format scale cursor in the desir ed position
and press the Asterisk (*) key. An asterisk is displayed in the selected position. The
end-of-line signal function is enabled and remains in effect during Document mode
until the asterisk is removed.

T o disable the end-of-line signal function, place the cursor over the asterisk and press the
Delete Character key (
and the function is disabled. If a tab stop is located at the end-of-line signal position,
removing the asterisk also removes the tab stop.

) (Delete on the 102-key keyboard). The asterisk is remo ve d

The Format Scale Origin

The format scale numbers can be shifted so that the scale begins with Position 1 instead
of Position 0. Tab stops, margins, and end-of-line signal positions are not shifted with
respect to the screen when the scale numbers are shifted.

Entry Assist

To change the scale origin, place the format scale cursor at the leftmost position on the
scale and press the Cursor Select key. The numbers on the line are shifted one space to
the left. Pressing Cursor Select again returns the origin to 0.

Cursor Movement and Editing Functions

Cursor movement and editing functions are active whenever the display station is in
Document mode. These functions are subject to the limitations imposed by the format
parameters currently set on the format scale.

The following cursor movement and editing functions are a vailable in Document mode:

• Word wrap

• Autorepeat cursor movement to next word

• Autorepeat cursor movement to previous word

• Delete word to the right

• Autorepeat deletion of character to the right

• T ab function inserting space characters

• Backtab function

• Backspacing with deletion

• New line function observing left margi n

W ord Wrap

The W ord Wrap function is turned on and off in Document mode by pressing the PF14 or
F2 (Word Wrap) key. This parameter, like other format parameters, is saved when the
display station is removed from Document mode and returns to its last state when the
display station returns to Document mode. The Word Wrap symbol (
word wrapping is in effect. W hen the function is on, text entry is subject to word wr ap­ping between the left and right margins.

Word wr apping occurs when a word being entered would extend beyond the right
margin. When the character is entered that would go beyond the right margin, the entire
word is moved down one line and to the left mar gin. If a space is entered in the position
one character left of the right margin, the cursor is moved to the left mar gin of the nex t
line without word wrapping. If the cursor is one space left of the right margin and the
Dup key is pressed, the Dup character appears on the right margin and the Dup function
works as defined outside of Document mode.

The positions previously occupied by the first part of the word are replaced by space
characters. When a word is wrapped to the left margin of the ne xt line, an y null char ­acters to the left of the left margin are changed to space characters to preserve the format
when it is sent to the host CPU.

) indicates that

Word wrapping does not occur unless the entir e row onto which the word is wrapped
contains only nulls or spaces. In some cases, word wrapping cannot occur. In these cases,
input is inhibited and the status row shows the Too Much symbol (

• The word takes up the entire length of the line.

• There is already text on the next line.

• The current line is the last line on the screen.

• The next line begins with a protected field.

If the display station is in Insert mode and a word is inserted on a line, any word pushed
beyond the right margin is wrapped to the next line if the next line contains enough
spaces after its last word or its margins contain enough nulls to make room for the wrapped
word. If the word cannot be wrapped onto the next line, input is inhibited and the Too
Much symbol is displayed on the status row .

Move Cursor to Previous Word (Autorepeat)

Press and hold the Alt k ey , then press the Cursor Left key ( ) to move the cursor to the
beginning of the current word (or, if already at the beginning of a wor d, to the beginning
of the word to the left). If the cursor is located at the first word on a ro w , it is wrapped to
the beginning of the last word on the previous ro w . If the cursor is located at the top left
position on the screen, it is wrapped to the beginning of the last word on the screen.

T o mak e autorepeat continue automatically , hold do wn the Alt and Cursor Left ke ys.

Delete Next Word

Entry Assist

The Delete Word ( ) key (DelWd key on the 102-key keyboard) is the alternate
function of the Delete Character ( ) key (Delete key on the 102-key keyboard) when
the display is in Document mode. Pressing the Delete Word key erases the character at
the cursor location and the remainder of the word to the right of the cursor . If the cursor
is on the first character of a word, the whole word is erased. If the cursor is on a space or
null, only the space or null is erased. Punctuation and spaces following a w ord are also
erased (unless only part of the word is erased, in which case the space or null remains).

When a word is deleted, the cursor remains in place and subsequent data on the line
moves to the left. Shifting does not occur for attributes, characters to the right of
attributes, or subsequent lines of data. If deletion is attempted on an attribute or a
protected field, input is inhibited and the Go Elsewhere symbol (
on the status row . Press the Reset key to ena ble further entry.

) is displayed

Cursor Tabbing

Pressing the Forward Tab ( ) key causes the cursor to move to the ne xt unprotected tab
stop. Intervening unprotected null characters are converted to space c haracters to
pre serve the format when data is transmitted to the host CPU. If the cursor reaches an
unprotected attribute before it reaches a tab stop, it stops at the attribute. If no tab stops
and no attributes are defined, the cursor mov es to the top left position on the screen.

If there are tabs or unprotected attributes on the screen, tabbing does not allo w the cursor
to wrap from the lower right corner of the screen to the upper left corner of the screen.

701408-002 5-7

Entry Assist

For some programs, the introduction of additional data (in the form of nulls being
converted into space characters) can cause problems. Verify that a program can be used
with the tab function in Entry Assist before using the tab function with the program.

Backtab Function

The Cursor Backtab function works like the Forward T ab function, except that the cursor
is moved to the previous tab stop or the fir st unprotected character of the current or
previous field. Pressing the Backtab (
changed to spaces when a backtab operation is performed. The cursor does not wrap
from the upper left corner of the screen to the lower right corner .

Backspacing with Deletion

Pressing the Backspace ( ) key in Insert mode deletes the c haracter to the left of the
cursor and causes the cursor to move left one character space. Characters to the right of
the cursor on the same line move one character to the left. Attributes and characters to
the right of attributes do not move.

If the cursor is located at the left margin when the Backspace key is pressed, input is
inhibited and the Go Elsewhere symbol (

New Line Function

Pressing the New Line ( ) key causes the cursor to move down one line and return to
the established left margin. If the left margin is protected, the cursor moves to the first
unprotected position to the right of the left margin. Unprotected null characters to the left
of the left margin are conv erted to spaces as long as there are no fields between the nulls
and the cursor .

If the cursor is on the last row of the screen and the New Line ke y is pressed, the cursor
is positioned on the first row of the screen.

If there are no unprotected locations between the margins, the cursor moves to the left
margin of the first row on the screen.
