- Name
-
Type the I/O field name; maximum 16 characters. Text fields do not have names because programs do not reference them.
If you give a screen field the same name as its corresponding database field, Online Express automatically maps the relationship
for you, prefixing the field name with the screen name; otherwise you must type the database field names into your program.
- Text
-
Type the text you want to appear in the field.
- Initial Value
-
Type a value to display in the field when the field first appears; the maximum is the length of the field 27 characters,
whichever is less.
- Row and Column

Shows the row and column where the field is located on the screen.
- Length
-

- Protected

Check this to prevent users from entering information into an output only field.
- Intensity
-
Select an intensity level.
placeCityNormal is the default.
- MDT on
-
Check this to set the Modified Data Tag. The default is to always send the screen field data to the program when the
user presses
Enter.
Uncheck this to send the screen field data only when the end user modifies the data. In this case, the unmodified data is
lost because the MDT value changes to ON when the user modifies a field.

Check this to activate the numeric keyboard shift lock function when the cursor moves into the field. This restricts
the user from entering non-numeric data into the field.
- Detectable
-
Check this if the field is light pen detectable.

Check this to indicate that the cursor should be positioned on the field when the screen is sent. Not supported in IMS.
