Grouping Several Fields in Blocks 
Creating Blocks
Gather groups of field names and their respective I/O fields in blocks.

Both field names and I/O fields are left-aligned:

Arranging Values to be Compared
Position fields whose values the user has to compare with each other one below the other.


Exception
If many "From-To" value ranges are grouped close together in the work area of a selection screen, the arrangement as shown in example 1 or example 2 is preferrable. The blanks in the left field name of example 1 are tolerable in this case.

This guideline basically affects the output of values. With entry screens where numeric data is entered left-aligned, the different widths of the input values give some indication as to which is the largest and which the smallest value.
Repeating Name Elements in a Block
If two field names have one part in common, you should still use the full name for both field names.

Aligning I/O Fields
The longest field name of a block determines where the I/O fields begin.
