Fields

#	Name	Location	Type	Details	Index	Description
.01	block name	0;1	POINTER	.404	B	Enter the name of the block to be placed on this page of the form.
1	block order(+)	0;2	NUMERIC		AC	The Block Order determines the order users traverse fields on a page when they press to go to the next block, or press to move from the last field on one block to the first field on the next. When the user first reaches a page, ScreenMan places the user on the block with the lowest Block Order number.
2	block coordinate	0;3	FREE TEXT			The block coordinate is relative to the page coordinate. The first row and column on the block have a coordinate of 1,1.
3	type of block	0;4	SET OF CODES	e:EDIT d:DISPLAY		Enter 'EDIT' if users can navigate to as well as edit fields in this block. Enter 'DISPLAY' if users cannot edit any of the fields in this block. User's can navigate to a DISPLAY block only if it contains multiple or word processing fields, in which case, the cursor stops at any of those two kinds of fields so that the user can press to view or edit the subfields in the multiple or invoke an editor to view the contents of the word processing field.
4	pointer link	1;1	FREE TEXT			If the fields displayed in this block are reached through a relational jump from the primary file of the form, enter the relational expression that describes this jump. Your frame of reference is the primary file of the form. For example, if the primary file has a field #999 called TEST that points to the file associated with this block, enter 999 or TEST
5	replication	2;1	NUMERIC			If this is a repeating block, enter the number of times the fields defined in this block should be replicated. If used, this number must be greater than 1.
6	index	2;2	FREE TEXT			Enter the name of the cross reference that should be used to pick up the subentries in the multiple. ScreenMan will initially display the subentries to the user sorted in the order defined by this index. The default INDEX is B. If the multiple has no index, or you wish to display the subentries in record number order, enter !IEN.
7	initial position	2;3	SET OF CODES	f:FIRST l:LAST n:NEW		This is the position in the list where the cursor should initially rest when the user first navigates to the repeating block. Possible values are FIRST, LAST, and NEW, where NEW indicates that the cursor should initially rest on the blank line at the end of the list. The default INITIAL POSITION is FIRST.
8	disallow laygo	2;4	BOOLEAN	0:NO 1:YES		If set to YES, this prohibits the user from entering new subentries into the multiple. If null or set to NO, the setting in the data dictionary determines whether LAYGO is allowed.
9	field for selection	2;5	FREE TEXT			This is the field order of the field that defines the column position of the blank line at the end of the list. The default is the first editable field in the block. This is also the field before which ScreenMan prints the plus sign (+) to indicate there are more entries above or below the displayed list.
10	ask 'ok'	2;6	BOOLEAN	0:NO 1:YES		Answer 'YES' to ask the user whether the looked-up entry is 'OK'. If only one match is made to the user's lookup value, then ScreenMan will ask "OK?" instead of automatically selecting the found entry. This property corresponds to the "V" flag in the DIC(0) input variable to ^DIC and only pertains to multiple-valued fields.
11	pre action	11;E1,245	FREE TEXT			Enter MUMPS code that is executed whenever the user reaches this block. This pre-action is a characteristic of the block only as it is used on this form. If you place this block on another form, you can define a different pre-action.
12	post action	12;E1,245	FREE TEXT			Enter MUMPS code that is executed whenever the user leaves this block. This post-action is a characteristic of the block only as it is used on this form. If you place this block on another form, you can define a different post-action.
