Page Title
- the name of the page is shown on the top line of the display.
Page Number
- when a display consists of several pages (as indicated in the upper right of the page), the
additional pages may be displayed by pressing the NEXT or PREV keys. When the NEXT key configuration
option is selected, the Front-panel Function Keys (FFKs) (elements 14 to 23 on Figure 2-1) can be used as a
NEXT key as well.
Page Prompt
- the LSK adjacent to a page prompt will display the associated screen page.
Scratchpad
- the scratchpad is located on the bottom (14th) line of the display. Keyboard entries are displayed
in the scratchpad and then moved to the data field by pressing the appropriate Line Select Key (LSK). Error
checking for invalid format or data type, or out of range values, is performed when the LSK is pressed. Copying
data from a data field into the scratchpad is accomplished by pressing the appropriate LSK when the scratchpad
is empty. Data in the scratchpad remains there when a new page is selected, and can thus be carried over for
entry into other pages.
Messages
- the System Alert messages can either be displayed in the scratchpad and placed on the “Message
Recall” list, or placed only on the “Message Recall” list depending on the system configuration. REFER TO
APPENDIX E OF THIS MANUAL FOR THE LIST OF MESSAGES.
