Use the Field Exit key to exit input fields. When you press this
key, nulls (displayed as blanks) are inserted from the present
cursor location to the end of the field. When you press this key
in a right-adjust field, the data to the left of the cursor is shifted
to the right. The vacated positions are filled with zeros or blanks
as specified by the format and the cursor advances to the next
input field. When you press this key in a signed numeric field, a
blank is inserted in the last position of the field.
Press the Field Exit key to exit input fields that are specified by a
program as right-adjust or field exit required fields. An error
message is displayed if you press this key:
• When the cursor is in the first position of a mandatory entry
field
• When the cursor is in any position of a mandatory fill field
other than the first position or the last position if the cursor is
blinking
• While the cursor is iri a noninput position
