Inputting Numeric Values Using the Temporary Input Field
The following describes the procedure for inputting a numeric using a “temporary
input field” which is registered for a window. The term “temporary input field”
means a numeric key type numeral setting input field registered for a window. It is
used as a “temporary input field” before the input is confirmed.
When a temporary input field is used, it is possible to input a numeric value while
leaving a numeric value which was active before the input in the numeral setting
input field on the base screen.
Here, the explanation concentrates on how to use a “temporary input field” in a
window. For the numeric value input procedure (page 518) and the procedure for
specifying the numeral setting input field (page 522, 524) and for opening the win-
dow (page 526), refer to the explanation for the numeric value input method given
previously.
