Editing and saving a form

When a field is current, you are automatically in overtype mode: the character you type replaces the character under the cursor. If, immediately after navigating to a field, or attempting to navigate from a field with an invalid value, you type over the first character in the field, the rest of the line is automatically cleared. You then enter characters as you would if the field were blank. You save the values you have entered in fields and close the form by pressing the <SAVE> SLK.

Here are some of the named keys you can use to edit a form field:

• <<Del>>, <DELETE-CHAR>, or the alternative keystroke sequence <CTRL-x> deletes the character under the cursor and closes the gap.

• <INSERT-CHAR> or the alternative keystroke sequence <CTRL-a> inserts to the left of the character under the cursor the next single character entered.

• <CLEAR>, <CLEAR-LINE>, or the alternative keystroke sequence <CTRL-y> clears the current line.

• <RESET> or the alternative keystroke sequence <CTRL-f> <r> restores the default value of a field.
