Those fields in SDSF are probably PAS fields but you don't see that as the panels are more than likely dynamic in nature (I don't run SDSF so I can't check that). I'm looking at ISPF dialogs where I want to allow PAS fields where the user can either TAB or mouse and then click to activate the action. I also, in some cases, want the value in the field to be based on a variable. When that happens the field must be defined as TYPE(OUTPUT) and for some reason a TYPE(OUTPUT) field allows the user to overtype it even if the entered text is ignored. That is what I want protected.

There is no need that a point-and-shoot field be one that you can tab to. See, for example, the changes in SDSF to make the jobname be a point-and-shoot field, likewise the DD name after issuing ?, or pointing and shooting on jobname. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
