<div><p>Read this topic to learn the procedure of duplicating entire fields.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>When you press
|
|
the Dup key, the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> operating system
|
|
handles the field as follows:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>If the field is a character field, the data displayed in the field is
|
|
returned to your program as is. A hex 1C is placed at the cursor position
|
|
and in the remaining field positions to the right. (Hex 1C appears as an over-scored
|
|
asterisk on the display.) The response indicator, if specified, is set on.</li>
|
|
<li>If the field is a numeric field and you specify a response indicator,
|
|
a hex F0 is placed at the cursor position and in the remaining field positions.
|
|
The response indicator is set on and returned to your program. If a response
|
|
indicator is not specified, hex 1Cs are returned to your program.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>In your program, you can duplicate entire fields (either character
|
|
or numeric) with the following procedure:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Specify two fields for each input-capable field on
|
|
the display in DDS.</span><ol type="a"><li class="substepexpand"><span>Specify one field as an input-capable field. For this field,
|
|
specify DUP with a response indicator. </span> <p>You might want to specify
|
|
DUP with an option indicator that is off on the first display of the field.
|
|
This prevents the workstation user from using the Dup key when the field is
|
|
first displayed.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="substepexpand"><span>Specify the other field as a hidden field (H in position 38).</span></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>On the first output operation, set off an option indicator for
|
|
DUP.</span> <p>This prevents the workstation user from using the Dup key.</p>

field to the hidden field.</span> <p>This saves the typed value for later

use.</p>

<li class="stepexpand" id="rzakcmstdfdupprogramming__dfdsubsequent"><a name="rzakcmstdfdupprogramming__dfdsubsequent"><!-- --></a><span>On each subsequent output operation, set the

|
|
response indicator specified with DUP. If the response indicator is off, the
|

input data should be moved to the hidden field. If the response indicator
|

is on, you can use the existing value in the hidden field.</span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> When
|
|
using the DUP keyword in a subfile, an update operation should be performed
|
|
after steps <a href="#rzakcmstdfdupprogramming__dfduphidden">3</a> and <a href="#rzakcmstdfdupprogramming__dfdoperation">5</a> to store the value of

the hidden field into the subfile. This will be returned on the next read

</ol>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>You can also duplicate character fields one character at a time
|
|
by saving them in arrays, then moving the array one character at a time and
|
|
checking for the DUP key indication of hex 1C.</p>
|
|
<div class="p">You can achieve duplication
|
|
of numeric fields one digit at a time by defining the field as character and
|
|
eventually moving it to your numeric field after the hex 1Cs have been removed.
|
|
You can test whether the Dup key has been pressed: <ul><li>For numeric fields, a response indicator is required.</li>
|
|
<li>For character fields, a response indicator is optional.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|

<p>The field will contain hex 1C at the cursor position and in the

remaining positions if the Dup key has been pressed.</p>
