Data Form Options

Field Movement Options Action When Option is ON
AUTOEXIT When the user moves forward from the last field on the form, the form is exited. This is equivalent to pressing the assigned exit key.
AUTOMOVE When the field is full and the user enters a printable character in the last position of the field, the user automatically moves to the next item.
CURSORCROSS
CURSORFREE:
Setting these options only affects the behavior of the arrow keys. CURSORCROSS controls behavior of the right and left arrow keys; CURSORFREE determines whether layout order or processing order is followed. Tab and Enter always follow processing order.

Both OFF: Up and down arrow keys move through processing order. Right and left arrow keys stay within the field. (default)

Both ON: Arrow keys follow layout order. Once the right or left arrow key hits the boundary of the field, it continues in layout order.

CURSORCROSS OFF, CURSORFREE ON: Up and down arrow keys follow layout order. Right and left arrow keys stay within the field.

CURSORCROSS ON, CURSORFREE OFF: Up and down arrow keys follow processing order. Once the right or left arrow key hits the boundary of the field, it continues in processing order.

FMLINKSHOW When several forms are linked and this option is OFF for a form, that form disappears from the screen when the next or previous form in sequence is put up; if this option is ON, that form remains on screen when the next or previous form is put up.
FMWRAP When moving down from the last item on a form, the cursor moves to the first item. Likewise, when moving up from the first item on a form, the cursor moves to the last item. If both AUTOEXIT and FMWRAP are ON, FMWRAP takes precedence.
FLDCHSELECT Enables field selection characters for all fields on the data form.
