USING LOCAL MANAGEMENT
This chapter describes how to work with LM screen fields. It also
discusses the function of each available selection from the MAIN MENU
Screen.
3.1 WORKING WITH LM SCREEN FIELDS
LM screens contain the following types of fields:
•
Editable: These fields allow you to either type in a discrete value or
select from available discrete values.
•
Command: These fields initiate executable functions such as saving
changes to memory, exiting a screen, viewing another screen, and so
on.
•
Static: These fields cannot be modified and serve only to provide
structure, identification, or context for the screens and the fields within
them.
An active editable field is always set in boldface, and additionally, those
enclosed in parentheses or brackets indicate fields that offer selections.
Use the following steps to alter editable fields:
1. Move the cursor to the desired field in the window using the Up, Left,
Right, or Down Arrow keys, as applicable, to highlight the field. The
cursor flashes in reverse video to indicate the selected field.
2. Type the new value into the field or use the spacebar to select (or
toggle) from values available from the field. The old value will be
replaced.
Incorrect entries (e.g., field value exceeded) are blocked and the field
remains at its original value.
3. Press the Enter key. The new value will be entered into the field.
