Re: Check box field on a green screen

[Al Mac Wheel <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You have some indicators associated with update mode vs. other mode.

When the screen is sent to the user, some fields are "dual defined" with 
different rules for different indicator combinations.  When not in update 
mode, the field is displayed as output to the screen, without capability of 
user keying into it.

That's better than ignoring certain fields when the screen is returned with 
its fields and command key combination, because people might think a 
program is broken if it ignores their instructions.
