Making NAME a required field insures that a customer name is actually
entered. Though not necessary for the transfer to TOTALS, it is good
practice to associate a customer name with each order. The SET statement
is executed in the field edit phase since no heading is specified. This
means that if the name is changed, the change is also recorded in the
save field.

Action
Find the Field Menu for NAME in form TOTALS, then enter the
specifications shown in Figure 6-9. Note that the field type is changed
to D for display-only so the operator cannot change the name on this
form. Press ENTER to record your changes.
