<h1 class="topictitle1">Data type/keyboard shift for display files (position 35)</h1>
<div><p>The entry you make in position 35 is the data type/keyboard shift
attribute for display files.</p>
<p>This entry does not determine the data type of the field used in your program.
The entry in positions 36 and 37 (decimal positions) determines the data type
of the field.</p>
<p>The keyboard shift attribute automatically shifts 5250 workstations with
data-entry keyboards and can, for all keyboards, limit what the workstation
user can type into a field. However, the keyboard shift attribute does not
shift 5250 workstations with the typewriter-like keyboard. Nor does the keyboard
shift attribute restrict in any way what your program can write to a field.
Your program can write alphabetic characters to a numeric field
and, in most cases, read that field and receive those characters. Any restrictions
are enforced solely by the programming language used for your program.</p>
