Re[2]: continuous entry and cursor advance -- LINUX5250

     A continuous-entry field is a way to define a long field in DDS, and 
     have it wrap to a specific width.  Something like:
     
       Description . . . . :   _________________________
                               _________________________
     
     In this case, Description is a single 50-character field, wrapped at a 
     width of 25.  Inserting and deleting characters should work correctly, 
     as if the field were wrapped at the right-hand edge of the terminal.
     
     Having said that, it only works on enhanced workstation controllers.  
     I think Client Access can do it, but I just checked and tn5250 
     doesn't.  I doubt it ever did.
     
     And having said all that, I don't think a continuous entry field is 
     supposed to wrap at blanks anyway - that's a different function, 
     WRDWRAP.  Again, this is only supported by enhanced workstation 
     controllers, and probably Client Access.

Could you explain this to a non-DDS person? ;-)

I assume you mean that the fields are not re-ordered?  I don't think this 
was ever implemented.  Has this worked for you in the past?
