Screen Field
field-characteristic clause
is one or more clauses that define default characteristics for all fields subordinate
to the group unless these characteristics are explicitly overridden for a particular
field. The clauses that can appear here are:
FILL
mnemonic-name
UPSHIFT
USER CONVERSION
WHEN ABSENT
WHEN BLANK
WHEN FULL
Screen Field
A screen field is a single elementary item.
level-num
is a numeric literal within the range of 2 through 49 that indicates the hierarchy.
field-name
is the name given to the field.
FILLER
is a keyword that takes the place of field-name . FILLER must be used for a
literal field.
field-characteristic-clause
is one or more clauses that define a characteristic of the field. The clauses that
can appear here depend on the field type.
Tabl e 5- 3 lists the four types of screen fields that are determined by the data
association clauses TO, FROM, and USING. It also lists the clauses that can be used
with the four types of screen fields.
level-num { field-name }
{ FILLER }
[ field-characteristic-clause ] ... .
Note. T16-6520, T16-6530, and T16-6540 considerations: If two successive literals have the
same attributes, no separation is necessary; otherwise, at least one space must separate
them.
