Panel Control Statements
6–16 106126 Tandem Computers Incorporated
BLINK
displays the field with the flashing or “blink” attribute.
NONE
displays the field in the native display mode of the terminal.
REVERSE
displays the field with the reverse video attribute.
USCORE
displays the field with the underline attribute.
INTENS
specifies the required intensity for displaying a field. If you specify either the
COLOR or HLIGHT options, panel services ignores the INTENS operand.
LOW
displays the field in low or standard intensity.
HIGH
displays the field in high intensity.
NON
does not display the field. Use this option if you want the input field
transmitted but not displayed. This is useful when you want to enter sensitive
data such as passwords. Assigning this attribute to output fields is
meaningless.
JUST
specifies how you want the alignment of the data within the field after trailing
blanks have been stripped. Justification is applied at the field level. Do not
confuse this with the VALIGN option, in which justification applies to the length
of the variable name itself. If the field needs padding, the character operand in the
PAD option is used. For input fields, justification occurs both when the data is
being displayed, and when the data is accepted by the procedure that initiates the
panel.
If, as a result of an input error, you have to reenter the data, NCL strips blanks and
any pad characters (unless they are numeric). For JUST=RIGHT, NCL strips
leading blanks and any pad characters (including numerics). For JUST=ASIS,
NCL strips trailing blanks and pad characters, but leading blanks and pad
characters remain intact.
