<div><p>Use this field-level keyword to define a field as a continued entry
|
||
|
|
field.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Continued-entry fields are sets of associated entry fields that
|
||
|
|
are treated by the workstation controller as a single field during field-data
|
||
|
|
entry and editing. If the display device is not attached to a controller that
|
||
|
|
supports an enhanced interface for nonprogrammable workstations, each segment
|
||
|
|
of the continued entry field is treated separately when editing is performed
|
||
|
|
on the field.</p>

<div class="section"><p>The text input format is more appealing to the user than a single
|
||
|
|
input field that wraps across multiple display lines. Even though the last
|
||
|
|
line does not occupy the full width of the column, no other field is allowed
|
||
|
|
in the rectangle. A continued-entry field allows a multiple-row entry field
|
||
|
|
to be defined inside a window.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The format of the keyword is:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>CNTFLD(width of column)</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>One
|
||
|
|
parameter must be specified.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The width of the column parameter specifies
|
||
|
|
the number of columns to be used for this continued field. This value must
|
||
|
|
fit within the width of the display or window. This value must be less than
|
||
|
|
the length of the field.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The field containing the CNTFLD keyword must
|
||
|
|
be defined as an input-capable field with the data type A. It cannot be defined
|
||
|
|
in a subfile.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following keywords cannot be specified on a field
|
||
|
|
with the CNTFLD keyword:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>AUTO (RAB, RAZ)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CHECK(AB, MF, RB, RZ, RLTB)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CHOICE</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>DSPATR(OID SP)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>EDTMSK</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The CNTFLD keyword must be defined with at least 2 spaces separating
|
||
|
|
it from other fields.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The
|
||
|
|
CNTFLD keyword reduces the number of available input fields by the total number
|
||
|
|
of segments that are used to compose that particular field. For example, a
|
||
|
|
60-character input field CNTFLD(10) keyword is displayed with 6 lines of 10
|
||
|
|
characters. Each line or segment is counted as an input-capable field by the
|
||
|
|
controller. Thus, this field reduces the available input field count by 6.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>See
|
||
|
|
the DBCS-specific <a href="dbcscn.htm">CNTFLD (Continued-Entry Field) keyword</a> topic for information about
|
||
|
|
using this keyword with DBCS data.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="example"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example</h4><p>The following example shows how to specify
|
||
|
|
the CNTFLD keyword:</p>

<p>In this
|
||
|
|
example, a multiple-row entry field is defined. The entry field contains 3
|
||
|
|
lines and is 30 columns wide.</p>
