Field Attribute Productions
The script in Example 5-9 is smaller and simpler than the script in Example 5-8 but
provides greater functionality. Generally, modeless scripts are less complex than modal
scripts, but offer more functionality.
Field Attribute Productions
The WINDOW statement FIELDS option defines windows or dialogue boxes with
multiple input-output fields. Lines of text in cache containing left and right square
brackets delimit the location of input-output fields when a window with the FIELDS
option displays this text. A field attribute production (a double colon :: symbol)
appended to the end of a cache line defines the field attributes of the fields in that line
of cache.
Example 5-10 shows a program that defines a window with multiple input-output fields.
