Fig. 9-10 Edit Masks Menu, Variable
The Select mask menu command can be used to display the desired
mask for editing by entering its specific mask number. The Selection
menu command (available subsequent to selecting Select mask) causes
all masks to be displayed in a list (with number and short designation),
where they can be marked and also displayed for editing by pressing
[RETURN]. In the event that changes have been made to the mask that
was displayed prior to the mask selection, the system issues a safety
query requesting a response tom the question whether changes are to be
saved or not.
In the displayed mask, permanent text can be inserted, moved or deleted.
With the Graphic character command, graphic characters that are not
available on the standard keyboard can be displayed in a list for subse-
quent selection and direct insertion into the mask. The last selected
graphic character (displayed in the Editing status window) can also be in-
serted at the cursor position by pressing [F8].
To provide a visual identifier for text and variables, they can be assigned
the following attributes:
• Flashing (blinking)
• Reverse video
• Underlined
• Zoom
To establish this assignment, the desired attributes must be checked with
the mouse in the Editing status window, or selected in the Attribute
menu. Text or variables that have already been entered cannot be pro-
vided with an attribute. For this reason, if a change of attributes is desired,
the previous text or variable must be deleted, and reentered, keeping in
mind that the desired attributes must be set prior to entering the text or
variable.
