You can enter up to twenty-three different data fields on a form. Just use the cursor keys to move around the screen entering your form. The backspace serves as a delete key and the delete key itself is nonfunctional. Suppose you wanted to enter a form type whose only information was a persons name and phone number. You might cursor around entering characters until you came up with something that looks like this.
Data validation is done at the time of data entry, character by character.
Anytime you are filling out a form and attempt to enter a character in a field that doesn't make sense for that particular data type the character will not be accepted A siren will sound and an appropriate error message will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Data of types p,d, and s are of predefined lengths and specifying their length will not make any difference. Data lengths entered for these data types is ignored. Delete the selected form type from the form type menu If you choose this option you will be asked if you are sure you really want to delete the selected form type from the form type menu.
