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
