S The format table is modified if the display address +1 is equal to the
starting address of an input field that was previously defined. This hap-
pens as follows:
S The f ield format word of the previously defined field is overlaid with
the new one.
S All FCWs and length parameters that were specified are ignored. Two
bytes, however, are still required for the length even though no value
check is performed on them.
S The field ending address is set equal to the f ield’s original ending ad-
dress.
S The screen ending address is not rewritten.
S The defined field is not null filled. If any data characters follow the
length field, they are written into the defined field.
