Types of line

•ASCII lines
• digital lines
•list lines
Simple lines: fixed and display lines. These lines contain a text box on the left edge of the
screen. The cursor cannot be positioned on a line of this type.
Data entry lines: ASCII, numeric, and list, with two zones: a text box on the left edge of the
screen, and a data entry field on the right edge. The cursor can be positioned on this type of line
if the user's access rights identified by the password are appropriate.
Generally, the cursor is only positioned on lines on which the user has the right to make
modifications. If none of the lines in a screen is accessible, there is no cursor. In this case, some
of the keyboard commands are not available.
Note: A line may be repeated several times.
Fixed lines
These lines display fixed text on the screen.
Display lines
These lines have a maximum of 40 characters. The cursor cannot be positioned on display lines.
The result displayed has a fixed part and a variable part specific to the MMC. The variable part
consists of one or more ASCII strings and / or one or more list elements.
The ASCII line
This type of line has a text box and a data entry field containing a maximum of 40 ASCII
characters. The cursor can be moved along the line to edit the ASCII string. Definition of "ASCII
characters": the 26 letters of the alphabet (not case sensitive), the ten digits, conventional
punctuation marks, space, and underscore ( _ ).
To access the command mode in this type of field, press the Esc key before the command, if the
command is a letter.
Numeric lines
The purpose of this type of line is to enter a numeric value expressed as a decimal. This value
may or may not be limited.
Only digits are allowed. Pressing any other key is treated as a command (the Esc key is not
necessary).
