LOCALEDITS
Here is a table showing the local edit terminal menu selection and associated VPLUS local
edits.
For each field, the user may select one edit from Table 4-2. and any combination of edits
from Table 4-3. according to the following guidelines:
1. If no selection is made from Table 4-2., the default edit of UNRESTRICTED is used.
2. The CONSTANT and REQUIRED edits are incompatible, since the required data cannot be
entered in the CONSTANT field.
3. The terminal executes all edits implied by field type before it checks for TOTAL_FILL.
The MUST_FILL edit is always met by INTEGER_FILL,SIGN_DEC_FILL, and IMP_DEC_
FILL.
4. The effect of the JUSTIFY attribute on each of the field types is shown in Table 4-2.
