Keyboard Error
Select the way you want keyboard errors to be handled.
Before you can resume data entry, you must press Reset to clear the error message.
The next key you press clears the error and attempts to execute the keystroke as follows:
If
This occurs
The cursor is in a valid input field and the key is a data key
The data is entered there if it is valid data for that field (for example, a numeric character in an input field that only accepts numbers).
Otherwise, the cursor is moved to the next valid input field, and if the data is valid for that field, it is entered there.
The cursor is in a valid input field and the key is a function key
The key operation is executed.
Otherwise, the cursor is moved to the next valid input field, and the key is ignored.
The current screen contains no valid input fields
An error message appears with each keystroke you press, and no keystrokes are executed.
You don't need to press Reset to clear a keyboard error. No error is reported and the next key you press attempts to execute the keystroke as follows:
If the cursor
This occurs
Is in a valid input field
The key is ignored. This is true for both data keys and function keys.
Is not in a valid input field and the key is a data key
The cursor is moved to the next valid input field, and if the data is valid for that field, it is entered there.
Is not in a valid input field and the key is a function key
The cursor is moved to the next valid input field, and the key is ignored.
Use this value with caution, because it prevents notification of keyboard errors.
