ALPHANUMERIC ENTRIES
When a number or alphanumeric value is to be entered, the prompt will appear. After the first
character is entered, the cursor (a filled in rectangle) will appear at the next character to be
entered. When the last character is entered, the cursor will appear over the character to
indicate that no more characters may be entered. If another number or letter is pressed, a
beep will sound.
Always press the ENTER key after inputting a line of data. Pressing ENTER moves the
cursor to the next line or back to the top line if you are on the last line. (If the system beeps
and doesn't move when you try to exit a screen, you probably forgot to press the ENTER key
after your last entry.)
On a screen with more than one alphanumeric entry, the ARROW keys can be used to move
the prompt to the next line without entering any data.
Entries with Number and Letters
Some entries (e.g., RX ID, Hospital Name) can have both numbers and letters. For these
entries, the F1 key is used to switch between numbers and letters. When the screen is
displayed, F1 will be “NUM”. This means that the entry will be in letters and the F1 key is to
be pressed to change to numbers. If the first character is to be a number, press F1 [NUM]
before beginning the entry. The key will change to F1 [LET] which means that the entry will
be in numbers. The F1 key can be pressed during the entry so that it can contain both
numbers and letters.
Example: To enter ABC123DEF
Press A, B, C
Press F1 – “LET” will be displayed
Press 1, 2, 3
Press F1 – “NUM” will be displayed
Press D, E, F
Press ENTER
SPACE Key
The SP (Space) key is on the DOWN ARROW and is considered a letter.
Decimal Point
The decimal point is on the UP ARROW key. If this key is pressed as the first key in an entry,
it will be interpreted as an UP ARROW. Therefore, a decimal point cannot be the first
character in an entry. To enter a number less than 1, begin with a 0 (zero).
