Setting an Entry Field Attribute

The Entry Field Attribute allows attributes to be assigned to a field and used when the cursor enters that field by tabbing or with a pointing device (mouse). You can only set these attributes for input capable fields. They are maintained on the Edit Screen Field Attributes panel shown earlier in this chapter, in the row labeled Entry. The default setting is blank for no attribute change.

Note: Entry Field Attributes are ignored if the field is converted to output or, at run time, if the first character in the input field is protected by an edit mask.

You can use the YEDTDFTATR command to set a default for Entry Field Attribute.
