Figure 2-2. Field Attribute Keys
The first three keys allow you to move the cursor from field to field. Pressing f1 (NEXT FIELD) moves the
cursor to the next field on the form according to line and column numbers. The next field is found on the
basis of which field begins in the next highest column or row, not on the basis of the field's assigned
sequence numbers. When the cursor is positioned in the last field and the f1 key is pressed, the cursor
moves to the first field. In contrast, when the cursor is positioned in the first field and the f2 (PREV.
FIELD) key is pressed, the cursor moves to the last field. The f3 key (FIRST FIELD) moves the cursor to
the first field on the form.
The form is also displayed on the screen, as shown in Figure 2-3.
