Tables - Maintenance 

This section describes functions the user can use to maintain table structures. "Table structures" here refers to all lists of elements through which the user can scroll - that is, lists, step loop areas on the screen, and so on.

 

This keyword discusses the interaction with tables using the step loop technique. For new develoments, please use the Table Control technique (exception: multiple-line tables) and employ the following guidelines accordingly.

 

Syntax of Examples

The following examples use an unsorted screen table structure with four lines. The examples are displayed as follows:

1 2 3 4 --Fx--> 1 2 _ 3 --> 1 2 9 3 -- ENTER --> 1 2 9 3

This means:

The cursor is on line three (underlined). The user then chooses a function Fx with a function key, pushbutton or from a pull-down menu. After the first two lines the system inserts a blank line for a new entry. Finally, the user enters "9" and presses the ENTER key: The new entry is copied and inserted.
