Selecting Keyboard Numeric Lock
Allows you to select the status of the keyboard lock
function. The numeric lock indicator position in the
operator information area is either blank (unlocked) or
displays an N (numeric locked).
The numeric lock limits the characters that you can key
into a field designated by the program as a numeric field.
When the cursor enters a numeric field with the numeric
lock on, your display station automatically shifts to
downshift mode if you have a typewriter-like keyboard or
to upshift mode if you have a data entry keyboard. When
this happens, the numeric (NUM) message appears in the
shifts and modes portion of the operator information area.
The only keys that you can key into the numeric fields are
the digits 0 through 9, decimal sign (.), minus (-), and the
Dup key. Pressing a key for any other displayable
character displays the X :itNUr'l (do not enter — numeric
data only) message in the operator information area and
disables your keyboard. Pressing the Reset key unlocks
the keyboard and turns off this message.
You can override the numeric lock on a data entry
keyboard by pressing the numeric shift ( 0 ) key or the
alpha ( (J ) key, depending on the character to be
keyed.
You can override the numeric lock on a typewriter-like
keyboard by pressing and holding the shift ( 0 ) key
and then pressing the desired character or symbol key{s).
