Key Buttons
A Key Button is an object that transmits a specified character code to the numeral display and input or
character string display field in focus. Character codes (combinations of 0 to 9 and A to F) can be trans-
mitted to the numeral display and input object. The transmitted code will, however, be displayed in the
display type for the Numeral display and Input object. For example, if the display is in decimal format,
character codes including characters A to F cannot be transmitted.
The settings at the destination determine whether the transmitted character string will be ASCII or Uni-
code. For example, if the destination string display and input object are set to ASCII, the transmitted
character string will be stored in ASCII. If the Command Button is set to a pop-up screen, the code will
still be transmitted to the base screen if the focus is on that base screen. Special control codes, (e.g., BS:
backspace, CLR: clear, etc.) can also be transmitted as required by the application.
