IBM Terminals have an "Exit field key". This key will do the following;

1) Erase the field from the cursor position to the end of the field

2) Tab to the next field

My question is;

Can this functionality be implimented using the ADIS configuration utility and can said functionality be assigned to a key of my choice?

I am using Visual Cobol under WINDOWS

Thanks in advance for any help

ADIS does not seem to support the Exit key functionality that you are looking for. You can define a key as a "next field key" (down arrow) or you can define a key as "erase to end of field" (Ctrl-Z) but you cannot define a key that will perform both functions simultaneously, at least not that I can find.

Thank you very much for your response. I appreciate it. I think the closest functionality might be the "Enable/disable auto-clear or pre-clear (Option 3)". At least it approximates the functionality. I'll see what the operators say about it
