Re: DDS Keyword - return control

Try CHECK(ER) on the field that you want to "trigger Enter."
>From the InfoCenter:


Keyboard control:


 When the CHECK keyword is used with a keyboard control code, it controls
 certain data-entry aspects. The valid keyboard control codes are:


 Keyboard Control Code
       Meaning
 ER
       End of record; equivalent to AUTO(RA)


       Use this code so that the workstation user does not need to press
       the Enter key. Whenever the workstation user keys a character
       (including a blank) into the last position of the field, the record
       is sent from the device just the same as if the Enter key had been
       pressed. If you also specify DSPATR(SP) for the field, the record is
       sent from the device as soon as the workstation user selects the
       field. If you use this function, it should be on the last field
       typed in by the user for this record.


       Option indicators are valid for this keyword.



AUTO (Auto) keyword for display files


 The AUTO keyword is equivalent to the CHECK keyword as follows:


 AUTO(RA)
       CHECK(ER)
 AUTO(RAB)
       CHECK(RB)
 AUTO(RAZ)
       CHECK(RZ)


 The format of the keyword is:


 AUTO(RA [RAB | RAZ])  AUTO(RAB | RAZ)


 The CHECK keyword is preferred. See CHECK (Check) keyword for display
 files for an explanation of how to use these keywords.

Can anyone remind me how to code a DDS file so that any entry
immediately returns control to the program rather than hitting the ENTER
key,



Here's hoping...
