<h1 class="topictitle1">Digits only (D)</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>To allow numeric entry, you must use uppershift for the data-entry
|
||
|
|
keyboard and lowershift for the typewriter-like keyboard.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The numbers-only keyboard shift defines a character or numeric field that
|
||
|
|
allows you to key only the digits 0 through 9 into the field. You cannot key
|
||
|
|
special characters or blanks.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The numbers-only keyboard shift is supported only on devices that are configured
|
||
|
|
on the 6040 or 6041 local controller or the 5294 or 5394 Control Unit. When
|
||
|
|
a digits-only field is sent to a device that is not configured on a valid
|
||
|
|
controller type, the field is processed as alphanumeric (keyboard shift A).
|
||
|
|
Because you can type any alphanumeric character into the field, a decimal
|
||
|
|
data error can result in the application program.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Field Exit, Field+ Exit, and Dup keys are allowed. The Field+ Exit
|
||
|
|
is processed as an unsigned Field Exit. The Field- Exit key is not allowed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Blank and zero are the only supported values for decimal positions (DDS
|
||
|
|
positions 36 and 37). If positions 36 and 37 are blank, the field is considered
|
||
|
|
a character field. If you specify zero, the field is considered numeric.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can only enter a positive integer value into a D field.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The display length of a digits-only field is always the field length as
|
||
|
|
specified in positions 30 through 34.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Zero suppression is not supported for digits-only fields. EDTCDE and EDTWRD
|
||
|
|
keywords are not valid, and the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> operating
|
||
|
|
system does not perform zero suppression by default, as it does for signed-numeric
|
||
|
|
fields.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">You cannot enter blanks into the field. However, you can move the cursor
|
||
|
|
out of the field after entering part of it. If you move the cursor after entering
|
||
|
|
part of the field, when the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operating
|
||
|
|
system passes the contents of the field to a program, the following considerations
|
||
|
|
apply: <ul><li>For a numeric field, leading blanks are converted by
|
||
|
|
the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operating system
|
||
|
|
to zero, and the field is right-aligned before the programme passes the field
|
||
|
|
contents to the application program.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For a character field, blanks are passed to the application program as
|
||
|
|
hex 40, and the field is not right-aligned.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The field length in the input buffer is the program length.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>In a database file, you can specify the D keyboard shift on the REFSHIFT
|
||
|
|
keyword if the field data type is numeric or character (S, B, P, or A). For
|
||
|
|
a numeric field, the number of decimal positions must be zero.</p>
