USING VPLUS/V AN INTRO. TO FORMS DESIGN Self-Paced Training Guide

MODIFY VALUES USED IN CALCULATIONS 

Suppose you want to change the discount percent on this last order to 8
percent rather than 10 percent.

Action 

To do this, remain in Browse mode, TAB to the Discount % field, and
change the displayed value to 8.  Press ENTER.

When you press ENTER to record the new value, the discount, the subtotal,
the tax, and the final total are all recalculated.  The new values are
written to the existing batch record, replacing the previous values.

Action 

When you look at the changed record, you see the new values, as shown in
Figure 5-24.

Unless the record with changed values is the last record in the batch
file, ENTRY does not show the new values automatically, but goes directly
to the next record when you press ENTER. In this case, press PREV REC to
view the changed values.

Action 

When you are through entering and modifying data in the DATA5 batch file,
you terminate ENTRY by pressing EXIT.
