Using VPLUS: An Introduction to Forms Design (32209-90004)

4-24
Figure 4-17. The ORDER Form, Batch Record No. 2
If you copied the data from Figure 4-14 exactly, then the word "Bicycles"
is misspelled in Record #2.
Action
Press NEXT REC to get to Record #2. Press TAB to position the cursor at
the Name field. Correct the error by typing BICYCLES over the word
BYCLES. Press ENTER to write the corrected data to the batch file.
Another method of correcting the error is to use Insert char to insert
the missing letters I; Insert char is turned off when you press ENTER to
record the correction.
When you press ENTER, the corrected record is written to the batch file
as Record #2, overwriting the original, erroneous version. If there
were
more records in this batch file, ENTRY would then display Record #3,
still in Browse mode. However, since there are only two records in
NEWDATA, ENTRY displays the message that there are no more records.
Despite full field editing, you may find many such typing errors in a
batch file. Editing cannot check everything--and the type of data
entered in a field of type CHAR is not checked at all.
