BASIC FUNCTIONS SECTION 5. 10
When the number of characters exceeds maximum no more
characters will be accepted. A warning tone will sound.
The cursor right and cursor left are available in INPUT
USING fields to edit or correct data prior to pressing
'El\fJ'ER'.
The E parameter is optional.
If it is specified then the
'Enter' key does not have to be pressed to terminate the
end of the characters allowed by the validation mask.
CAUTION: If the input field extends over more than one
HUNTER screen line confusing results may occur in subsequent
attempts to delete or edit characters.
To suppress the

prompt, a comma should follow the
prompt string. There must be a prompt string when using
comma, therefore, to have no prompt at all it is necessary
to use the null string
1111
•
A string, enclosed by quotes, immediately following the
validation expression will cause that string to act as the
prompt.
The cursor left and right keys are enabled in order to
allow the user to modify incorrect entries by simply over-
typing them. The delete key will delete the last character
entered.
