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.

Table 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.
