Forms Cache (*GLOBAL)
Legal values for this field are Y and N.
The Forms cache (*GLOBAL) determines the form name stored in the for ms cache directory when the
form is downloaded.
NOTE
Forms can be downloaded using the DOWNLOAD command of the Process Monitor
software product, PROCMON. Currently, only the 2394A and 700/94 terminals sup-
port forms downloading. For more information, see the PROCMON/3000 Reference
Manual.
If Y (yes) is specified, the name of the form in the forms cache directory consists of the form name and
*GLOBAL. This allows a form that is in multiple forms files to be accessed as the same form from the
forms cache. If N (no) is specified, the name of the form in the forms cache directory consists of the form
name and the form filename that contains the form.
Suppress Input
Legal values for this field are Y, N, and 01-99.
If Y (yes) is specified in the Suppress input specification, or an indicator is specified and the indicator is on,
all input fields on the form will be returned to the RPG program as blanks. If N (no) is specified or an
indicator is specified and the indicator is off, the input field will be returned to the RPG program normally.
NOTE
If you specify Y (yes), input can never be read from the form.
Return Input
Legal values for this field are Y and N.
If Y (yes) is specified in the Return input specification, all input fields in the form are returned to your
program, even if the user did not enter any data in the form. If N (no) is specified, data from input fields is
returned only if the user enters data. If the user does not enter any data on the screen, all input fields are
filled with blanks. Information does not have to be entered into mandatory enter fields (see "Field
Attributes").
Erase Input Fields
The legal values for this field are Y, N, and 01-99.
The Erase input fields specification erases the input fields on a form. It is helpful to erase input fields when
a user must enter information into the same form so that the form does not have to be redisplayed. If Y
(yes) is specified in the Erase input fields specification, input fields are erased each time the form is
displayed. If N (no) is specified or this entry is left blank, no erase input fields operation is allowed.
If an indicator is specified in this field and is enabled in your program, the erase input fields operation is
performed on the form only when the indicator is turned on. If the indicator is not on, the form is
displayed normally.
Retain Function Keys
Legal values for this field are Y and N.
Function keys are used to return status information to the RPG program. When the user presses a
function key, a four-digit numeric status code is placed in element one of the status array. You can test
function keys f1 through f8 by examining element one of the status array for the codes shown in Table 1.
If Y (yes) is specified in the Retain Function Keys specification, the function keys that were enabled for the
previous form are retained when this form is displayed.
