For Duplicate Fields: Auto-
matically enters data from the
corresponding field or posi-
tions of the previous record
into the record you are
currently keying. This way,
you avoid keying repetitious
material.
For Skip Fields: Auto-
matically fills or verifies
programmed skip fields
with blanks.

Use this switch to automati-
cally enter records on the
disk. That is, when the
machine passes the last posi-
tion in the record or comes
to your program end charac-
ter (E), the machine auto-
matically advances the record
onto the disk. Therefore, it
saves you the time of pressing
REC ADV after entering each
record.
In the NUMBERS ONLY
position, only the characters 0
through 9,dash,space,and
plus are valid in programmed
numeric shift. Either shift
key overrides the pro-
grammed shift. In the ALL
CHAR position, you can use
all of the keys.
