Determining Data for the Input File
Each program contains one or more entry groups. Each entry group consists of one or more data entry fields in which data can be entered before pressing Go.
Example: In Employee Maintenance (2.7.1) there are three entry groups, corresponding to the number of times you must press Go. Although direct correspondence between entry groups and frames is normal, it is not required. The three entry groups are:
• Key field group—employee code
• Address group
• Employee data group
Each entry group corresponds to one line in a CIM file.
While navigating a program to determine field groupings, use the Tab key to move from field to field, rather than the Return key. The Return key works like the Tab key in all fields except the last field in an entry group, where it executes the Go command. This can be misleading in determining which fields belong to an entry group.
