Statement Field Details
Prompt Text
If you have chosen D (Data) for the STATEMENT ENTRY TYPE, typical PROMPT text might be
something like "ENTER DATA" or "SCAN BARCODE". A "Q" (Question) statement might display text
such as "DAMAGED GOODS?"
The PROMPT Text statement has other uses besides just displaying an operator prompt. By using an @ as
the first character in the statement text, you can display the last data entered for this prompt as the default
data. To accept this displayed data as the data you want to enter for the prompt, press the ENTER key. For
example, if the PROMPT text is "@ENTER ITEM NO.", and the data entered for the prompt is 1234, then
the next time the PROMPT text is displayed, it would display as follows:
ENTER ITEM NO.
1234 _
To accept 1234 as the actual data (instead of entering new data), simply press the ENTER key on the
Terminal.
Entering ! as the first character for the PROMPT text field will cause the Terminal to increment the last data
entered for the statement by 1. To accept this data, the user simply presses the ENTER key on the Terminal.
To enter different data, press CLEAR, then enter the new data via the scanner or the Terminal keypad.
Lets say that while collecting data in our program, we enter the number 12345 at the ENTER ITEM NO.
Prompt when it is displayed on the Terminal. By using the ! as shown above, the next time we see the
ENTER ITEM NO. Prompt, the Terminal will increment the last data entered and display it as the input
data:
ENTER ITEM NO.
1236 _
To accept the data, press ENTER. To enter different data press CLEAR, then the new data.
