Creating a Panel Definition › Changing the Panel Layout › Modifying Existing Fields on the Panel Layout › Example

Example

The following example illustrates the use of the INSERT key to modify a field in the original layout. In this example, the decision was made to replace the number symbol (#) with the word NUMBER. On a null‑filled screen, place the cursor over the number symbol (#) on line one and press the INSERT key. On a blank‑filled screen, delete the number of blanks equal to the number of characters in the word NUMBER.
