INSERT BOX Operation for a Nested Box

To request an INSERT BOX operation for a nested box, the end user must do the

following:

1. Read or insert a row for the parent box.

2. Enter screen values in the nested box.

3. Press shifted F10.

Note Values should not be entered into a nested box unless a read or insert operation has been previously

requested for the parent box. If values are entered in the nested box before an operation for the parent

box has been requested, the application will remove the values from the nested box when it performs the

operation on the parent box. If an application automatically reads a row for a nested box whenever an

operation is requested for a parent box (that is, an AUTOFILL), the application will replace the values in

the nested box with values read from the database.
