7.3.6 String Entry Parameters
Important: For detailed information about using string entry fields to

A sequence or string of characters can be entered in this type of parameter. When a
string entry parameter contains data, it is displayed in reverse video. (Empty fields
are not displayed in reverse video.) The methods that can be used to enter
information in string entry parameters are described in this section.
In string entry parameters, the <UP> arrow, <DOWN> arrow, <ENTER> and
<DEL> keys have the following functions:
• The <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys move the cursor between entry fields
in the direction of the arrow.
• <ENTER> completes the entry field.
• <DEL> deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
• <CLR> (key combination <BLUE> <DEL>) clears the entire field.
