Text Entry
Downlink message pages provide text entry fields. Scratchpad entries transfer to
selected entry fields when a cursor select switch is pushed. Scratchpad entries
blank when successfully transferred. Scratchpad entries remain and an INVALID
ENTRY message is displayed in the help window when the entry is not valid.
An entry field resets to a default value when a blank scratchpad is transferred. An
entry field blanks when a space is transferred. An entry field resets to the default
entry prompt when DELETE is transferred.
Box and dash prompts indicate the maximum number of characters allowed.
Some entry fields have format requirements. Entry prompts display the required
entry format, with special characters separating entry boxes. The required data is
entered without the special characters or spaces. Scratchpad data is transferred to
entry boxes after being checked for proper format. Invalid data or format prevents
transfer and displays INVALID ENTRY in the help window.
