Re: Is there a Dup key ?

[Jeff Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>]

The DUP keyword is a field level keywork valid at all levels.
What this does is return an indicator to the program indication that the DUP key had been pressed for this key.  It was up to the programmer to determine what action to take.
Usualy, if a field was going to be available for "DUP", the last value for that field would be saved and when the DUP indicator was received, the program would move the last value into the field.

Hi Booth
I know you can use the DUP command within DDS, but I don't think this is
available within a subfile

I just had a request that stirs the dust balls in my brain.  Maybe
there really is a solution and I am just not thinking clearly.

He remembers his old terminal had a dup key where he could duplicate
fields.  He now has a subfile of 5 input capable fields and quite often
wants to duplicate the value from the field above.

Is this reasonably possible?
