Yep, the old 5250 had a dup key. This is from dusty old memory, but as I
recall it filled the field with hex '5C'. It showed up on the screen as
an asterisk with a bar over it. Your program had to replace the 5C's
with characters from the preceeding field though there was something in
the interface that would do that for you in some cases.

Subject: Is there a Dup key ?
I just had a request that stirs the dust balls in my brain. Maybe
there really is a solution and I am just not thinking clearly.
He remembers his old terminal had a dup key where he could duplicate
fields. He now has a subfile of 5 input capable fields and quite often
wants to duplicate the value from the field above.
Is this reasonably possible?
