USE OF RETURN KEY <CR>
The notation <CR> indicates the use of the terminal 'RETURN' key. Every effort has been made to identify the results of using only the <CR> as a response to a given prompt (i.e.: as a default entry). There may be, however, instances within the documentation where defaults have not been detailed. In these cases, enter an explicit response.
To revert to a higher menu, simply enter a carriage return, <CR> to the module prompt.
OPTIONS AND DEFAULTS
All programs display the valid selection options in one of two ways. Valid selections are displayed within square brackets [ ] or bolded. If a valid option is also the default case, the default value is indicated in angular brackets '< >' or bolded after the prompt.
EXAMPLE #1:
DO YOU WISH TO CONTINUE [Y/N] <Y>
Indicates that valid responses would be 'Y' or 'N'.
If the operator enters a <CR>, the default response of 'Y' is assumed.
EXAMPLE #2:
ACCEPT CANCEL OR MODIFY # A
Indicates that valid responses should be 'A' 'CA' or 'M' with a line number. If <CR> is entered the default of 'A' is assumed.
DATE [YYMMDD]
When a date is required as input, the system expects a response in the format 'YYMMDD' unless otherwise specified where:
YY Last two characters of the year (i.e.: '89' would represent 1989)
MM Numeric representation of the month (i.e.: '10' would represent October) DD The day of the month
NOTE: A <CR> at any date prompt inserts the current date on your system.
FIELD # TO CHANGE
FIELD # TO CHANGE <CR> is a standard prompt at the end of all data entry screens. At this point, the operator should examine the contents of the numbered fields. If any information needs to be changed, enter the field number followed by <CR>. The system will re prompt for that field and return to this prompt. When all fields are correct, enter a <CR> to clear the screen and begin the next item.
