Standard Screen Formats for IBM-327x Terminals
With certain exceptions and additions, the rules described
previously for the standard screens displayed by single-file
applications also apply to the standard screens displayed by
multifile applications. These exceptions and additions are:
• The number of boxes that appear on a single screen page affect
the number of screen lines available for screen label and
field pairs.
• A series of tilde characters (~) identifies the beginning and
end of a box.
• A series of vertical line characters (|) indicates the left
and right side of a box.
• The join field of a child box does not appear on the screen.
• A child box begins on the screen line following the join field
for its parent box. The first label of the child box appears
on the next screen line. The application indents at least
four screen columns before beginning this screen label.
• If a field will not fit in a child box, the application wraps
the field onto the subsequent screen line. The continued
field begins in the first column of the box.
• The application might split a box across screen pages.
Standard Screen Formats for IBM-327x Terminals
Screen formats for IBM-327x terminals are the same as those shown
for the T16-652x and T16-653x terminals, with the following
exception:
• Screen line 23 contains the words Press PF3 for Help, PA2 to
exit.
• Screen line 24 displays error message in BRIGHT.
HELP SCREENS
ENABLE applications display two HELP screens. Figures 7-5 and
7-6 show the HELP screens for the T16-651x, T16-652x, and
T16-653x. The HELP screen displayed for an IBM-327x terminal
substitutes appropriate function key references.
