Part 2: Entering, Updating, and Deleting Data MSC Fileman 22.2 User Reference Guide
• Required fields on all pages that can be accessed via the next and
previous page links have values, even if you have not accessed those
pages during the editing session.
• If you have accessed any subpages, required fields in those subpages
must also have values.
If any required field is empty, you cannot file any data changes. When you
attempt to file, Screenman displays a list of those fields that require values.
The <PF1>Q key sequence allows you to quit the form without saving
changes. Filing does not occur if you time out.
NOTE: There is one situation in which a change to the database is made
immediately: when you delete an entry from a file or subfile. When you
attempt to delete an entry, Screenman issues a warning that deletions are
immediate and permanent. Even if you quit the form without saving your
changes, the entry is not restored to the database.
Troubleshooting
While screen displays offer many advantages, they also require that the
software can correctly identify the type of terminal being used or emulated.
An incorrect identification may produce unreadable and unusable screens.
To exit such a screen, enter ^<Enter>^<Enter>.
If you continue to find the screens are unreadable, check the following
sources for troubleshooting information:
• The "System Management" chapter in the section of the MSC Fileman
Technical Manual.
• Kernel Systems Manual (look for information on "Device Type at
Signon" and changing your terminal type).
