For Screen Input Fields
Within forms, Field Help menus or text messages are accessed by selecting field labels with the
mouse from a full-feature workstation (or typing ?). From a basic-feature workstation, type a ? in
the input field. The cursor must be positioned on the field for which help is needed. For tabular
fields, the column label should be selected. Refer to Figure 1-4 for an example of selecting fields
listed in tabular form.
Figure 1-4. Selecting Fields Listed in Tabular Form
Each field that accepts user input has associated field help. Depending on the type of field (either
fixed parameter or variable parameter [i.e., a value within a range of values]), field help is either a
selectable menu of valid field entries, or a text message which describes the valid input format(s)
or entries.
