specifies how fields are to be

system variables and PF key lines. Moreover, all non-alphanumeric fields, for example,
numeric and date are affected. In addition, for Natural Web I/O Interface terminals the

routine is supplied as assembler module NATPM
in the Natural source library
and can be modified in case of need.
