Sample Data Entry Form - HP 2624 Manual

Designing and Using Forms
When you are designing a form through the keyboard,
there are two ways of swi tching back and forth between the
Line Drawing and USASCII character sets:
l. You may use the
"modi fy char !Set"
function keys; or
2. You may use ASCII <so> (control-N) and <5 I > (con-
trol-a) codes.
One way of getting to the
"mod if Y cha r
!j
e
t "functions keys
is the following keystroke sequence:
•
..
d"fin"
fi"ld5
..
modify
chOIr 5et
This changes the function key labels to the following:
- .. .. ..
define enhance
field5 video
.. .. .. ..
CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE
TO BASE TO SET A TO SET B TO SET C
The _ and . . keys transfer you to the
"def i ne
f ield5"
and
"enhance video"
sets of function
keys, respectively. The . . through
g
keys activate
the character sets currently specified by the
@,
A, B,
and
C
fields (respectively) near the bottom of the Terminal
Configuration menu. When you press one of the keys . .
through
g ,
all characters from the current cursor
\
\
\
position through the end of the line or through the next
character position at which a change of character sets has (
previously occurred (whichever is encountered first)
change to the associated character set. Note that if your
terminal does NOT include the Math and Large Character
sets, one or more of the character set configuration fields
may be blank. If you activate such a set, all character
positions within the range of the function key will change
to blanks on the screen (the actual data characters remain
intact, however, within display memory) .
When the Line Drawing set is enabled as the active al-
ternate character set, you switch from the Base set (set
@)
to the Line Drawing set by issuing an ASCII <so> code
(control-N) and you switch from the Line Drawing set back
to the Base set by issuing an ASCII <51) code (control-a) .
Note that the <so> code affects only those characters from
the current cursor position through the next <so> or <5 I >
code or through the end of the line, whichever occurs first .
Consequently, if the Line Drawing set is enabled at the end
of one line on the screen and you also want it enabled at the
start of the next line, you will have to explicitly issue
another <so> code at the start of the second line.
Figure 5-2 illustrates a sample form and identifies the
keystrokes used for generating the various different types
of line segments. Figure 5-3 shows the same form as it
actually appears on the terminal's screen. Figure 5-4 shows
the Base set equivalent characters for the entire form
structure.
