Field selection bar
The field selection bar functions in much the same way as the menu
selection bar. Use the arrow keys to move the field selection bar.
Entering new input for a field causes the information to be displayed in the
selected field after {RETURN} is pressed. Press [Edit field] to edit a field.
In edit mode, the data is displayed in the field as it is typed. It does not
appear on the input/output line. While editing, access is available to the
commands described in Table 2-1.
Help function key
The [Help] function key appears throughout the system. This function key,
when pressed, displays information about the screen and fields on display.
Input/output line
The bottom line of the screen is the input/output line. It displays the
character(s) the user has typed for the next entry. It also displays messages
from the NAC. Press {RETURN} to send the displayed information to the
system. The information is examined to ensure:
it is not too long for the field
it is a number without decimals (providing the field requires a numeric
entry)
it is an available choice (providing the field requires that a number be
selected from a list)
If the entry is legal, it appears in the highlighted field. If the entry is illegal,
it is rejected and an error message appears at the bottom of the screen.
In the lower portion of Figure 2-2, the network supervisor has begun to
enter new data for the custom headings. The cursor, located at the end of
the input, indicates where the next keystroke appears.
If a mistake is made before pressing {RETURN}, press {<–} to move back
through the input. This erases one keystroke each time {<–} is pressed. To
correct a field that has already been entered, re-enter the entire field or edit
the data that is already there. Always press {RETURN} after entering
input.
