NET/MASTER Network Control Language (NCL) Reference Manual

#FLD
Panel Control Statements
6–14 106126 Tandem Computers Incorporated
BLANKS
specifies the required format of the input data. A field might contain imbedded
blanks. For example, if NONE is specified and the data contains blanks, an error
message is issued. Internal validation redisplays the erroneous panel with the
&SYSMSG variable set to “INCOMPLETE FIELD.”
ANY
ensures that the entered data can contain blanks in any position.
NONE
ensures that the entered data contains no blanks at all.
TRAIL
ensures that the entered data contains only trailing blanks.
CAPS
specifies (for input fields only) whether you want the entered data to be converted
to uppercase in the specified variable. The YES setting implies that conversion to
uppercase takes place. This does not impact the current contents of the variable
unless you enter something. Output fields are displayed exactly as defined and
are not subject to uppercase conversion.
YES
specifies that NCL converts input fields to uppercase.
NO
specifies that NCL accepts input fields as entered.
{ COLOR | COLOUR }= color-option
specifies the color of the field. The COLOR operand is ignored if the terminal does
not support extended color. You can dynamically specify the displayed color of
the field, if you assign a variable to color-option in the #FLD statement.
DEFAULT places the terminal in its native display mode, which is usually white.
