F4: Represents SAVE. Causes the configuration data to be saved and also
applied if not already done.
When processing data entered in a text field, all leading and trailing whitespace
characters are ignored (such as, space, Tab, ESC).
Once a configuration change is made and is accepted (the cursor is no longer on
the field that was modified), the change is not put into effect until you issue an
APPLY.
Applying (Processing) Configuration Changes

as the first change is accepted, “APPLY” appears on the Command Bar.
When you select APPLY, the following occurs:

v

supported range), none of the changes on the panel have been processed yet
and an error message is displayed identifying the field containing the error.

must be valid before any of the changes are processed.

If the configuration change is processed successfully and UNSAVED DATA is not
already displayed on the upper right corner of the panel, then UNSAVED DATA is
displayed.
