Numerical Data Entry (Numeral Insertion/DELETE
Keys Enabled)
Overview
To change numerical data already entered through the keypad, you need to type over the data, or
delete every numeral with the backspace key and then type in new data.
With the numeral insertion/DELETE key function discussed in this section, you can use the arrow keys
"←" and "→" to move the cursor, and enter/delete numerals to/from the places specified with the
cursor.
Display During Data Entry
Numerals being typed are displayed in a flush-right format with zero suppress, irrespective of which
settings (flush right and zero suppress) are currently made for the numerical data display. After the
numerals being typed are entered, they are displayed in the set format.

Insertion of numerals
• The whole number part
A numeral insertion is made to the right of the cursor.
When numerals exist at all places, entering a new numeral deletes the leftmost numeral.
Additionally, entering a numeral at the leftmost place of the whole number part overwrites the
current numeral.
Example: Insertion of "3" between "2" and "4" to show "2345"
