To define the properties for a field

1. In the Code field of the Edit Map menu, enter an E and, in the Name field, enter MAP001 (if it is not already entered).

   The map editing screen appears and map MAP001 is displayed in the editing area.

2. Type in additional text as shown below:

   Ob _ Ob D CLS ATT DEL CLS ATT DEL . . T D Blnk T I ? . . A D _ A I ) . . A N ¬ M D & . . M I : O D + . .

   The question mark (?) shown in boldface is the delimiter character for intensified text fields.

3. Enter the field command .E as shown below:

   Ob _ Ob D CLS ATT DEL CLS ATT DEL . . T D Blnk T I ? . . A D _ A I ) . . A N ¬ M D & . . M I : O D + . .

4. Press ENTER.

   The extended field editing area for the field in which the command was entered appears:

   Fld #NAME Fmt A40 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AD= MIT'_'____ ZP= SG= HE= _____________________ Rls 2 AL= _____ CD= __ CV= ________________________________ Mod User PM= __ DF= DY= ______________________________ EM= __________________________ SB= ________________________________ 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+---- ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME:.EXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX TYPE IN?.

5. In the Fmt field, replace the current value by A20, and, in the HE= field, enter 'HELP001' (within apostrophes) as shown below:

   Fld #NAME Fmt A20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AD= MIT'_'____ ZP= SG= HE= 'HELP001'____________ Rls 2 AL= _____ CD= __ CV= ________________________________ Mod User PM= __ DF= DY= ______________________________ EM= __________________________ SB= ________________________________ 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+---- ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME:.EXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX TYPE IN?.

6. Press ENTER.

   The extended field editing area disappears. HELP001 (which is yet to be created) is assigned as the help routine/help map to the field and the field length is reduced to 20:

   Ob _ Ob D CLS ATT DEL CLS ATT DEL . . T D Blnk T I ? . . A D _ A I ) . . A N ¬ M D & . . M I : O D + . .
