Naming Rules
In certain command descriptions, the descriptions refer to screen field
name and scratch-pad field name rather than a screen field reference or a
scratch-pad field reference. Wherever these are specified, the reference
to the screen or scratch-pad field must be by name. Absolute or relative
addressing is not allowed.
A screen field name takes the form:
S-dictionary_name.screen_name
where dictionary_name is the dictionary field specification name assigned
to that screen field, and screen_name is the name of the screen.
NOTE The screen name qualifier is optional with the CLEAR, FIELD, SHOW,
TIE, and MOVE commands. If you do specify a screen name as a
qualifier for a screen field name in these commands, it must be the
current screen name.
A scratch pad field name takes the form:
P-field_name
Whenever this section refers to the following items, you can use
appropriate substring or subscript references:
- variable or calculated items.
- constants.
- screen fields.
- scratch-pad fields.
- file record fields.
- work area fields.
- communication area fields.
Chapter 3 describes subscript or substring references.
Enter all user defined names exactly as they are defined. For example, a
variable defined as Cost_MtoD would be referenced as V-Cost_MtoD.
