RE: Auto populate fields and advance screens

Matt,

You should be good to go if your field is already includes CHECK(ER)

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.

Subject: Auto populate fields and advance screens

We are attempting to implement dimensional scales into our warehouse. Though the vendor supplied software, the scales will automatically populate designated fields on our screens with the values received from the scale. My issue is this, once the data is received into the fields how can I automatically force an ENTER or FIELD EXIT without the having user pressing the keyboard? Each of the fields are currently set to CHECK(ER RZ). The data arrives into the fields and is right aligned and zero left, then nothing with user intervention.

Thoughts and ideas are welcome!

Thanks,
Matt
