How to Input Data Into Temporary Input Fields
176
Temporary input fields are used in the following way.
(1) Specify the numeral/character-string input field used for actual input with a
numeric key, system key, or touch switch (cursor moving key).
The actual method used for specification is the same as that for numeral set-
ting. See "Specifying the Numeral Setting Input Column to be Entered"
(page 162).
It is possible to display a window simultaneously with a cursor movement.
For details, see "Opening Windows with the Cursor Moving Keys" (page
174).
(2) If the window in which the temporary input field is registered is not displayed,
open it (this could also be done prior to step (1)). For the method for opening
the window, see "Opening and Closing Windows" (page 174).
The temporary input field displays the contents of the actual input field at that
point in time. The display of the temporary input field is governed by the fol-
lowing attributes:
- Attributes determined by the settings for the temporary input field:
Character font, scale, display attribute, smoothing, character color, back-
ground color
- Attributes determined by the settings for the actual input field on the base
screen:
Numbers of integer and decimal fraction digits, upper limit value, lower
limit value, decimal/hexadecimal, zero suppress, sign display.
The cursor frame of the temporary input field is always displayed.
(3) Input the numerical value or character-string. The method is the same as
that normally used to input numerical values and character strings. See "En-
tering the Numeral Values" (page 164), or "How to Enter the Character-
Strings" (page 169).
The numerical value or character-string is input into the temporary input
field.
(4) The input numerical value of character-string is written to the input field on
the base screen on confirming it by pressing the ENT key or the return key
( ), and the contents of the corresponding numeral/character-string
memory table are changed accordingly (notification to the PC also takes
place at this time). The cursor moves to the next input field on the base
screen.
If the input value is outside the range delimited by the upper and lower limit
values, the original value is redisplayed.
Note also that if the actual input field on the base screen is changed before
input is confirmed, the input data will be destroyed. The input data will also
be destroyed if the window is closed or the screen is switched before con-
firmation.
