The command buffer is always displayed when the processor is in program
mode. When in run/program mode, the command buffer will not be
displayed unless the on-line data change feature is being used.
The field cursor and digit cursor are used together to enter or change file
data.
Field Cursor
The field cursor initially appears in the top left position of the file section.
Within a column, the [
↓
] and [
↑
] keys can be used to move the cursor
down or up respectively, one position number at a time.
The field cursor can be moved from one column to another. The [SHIFT]
[
→
] and [SHIFT] [
←
] key sequences are used to move one column right
and left, respectively. If the field cursor is on the far right and left edge of
the screen, it cannot be moved past the edge boundaries.
The field cursor can be moved into the header area of a data monitor
display which contains user-changeable data, by pressing [DISPLAY]
000. When there, the field cursor is controlled by the four cursor control
keys [
↑
], [
↓
], [SHIFT] [
←
] and [SHIFT] [
→
]. If the header contains no
changeable data, the field cursor cannot be moved there. The field cursor
can be moved back to the file section by pressing [DISPLAY] [X] [X] [X]
where XXX is any position number.
The field cursor commands are summarized in Table 12.C.
