Auto-Tabbing

Auto-tabbing means that while typing in a field the cursor is set automatically to the next field when the field is totally filled.
There are two ways to direct auto-tabbing in AMT-COBOL. One of these settings is found in the Runtime behaviour configurations: Form behaviour tab in the Control Center , and the other in the form options in AMT-COBOL Developer Studio .

For auto-tabbing the following is true:

  IF FORM OPTION = Checked
     Auto-tabbing non-numeric fields = ON
     IF CC OPTION = Checked
        Auto-tabbing numeric fields = ON
     ELSE
        Auto-tabbing numeric fields = OFF
     ENDIF
  ELSE
     Auto-tabbing non-numeric fields = OFF and Auto-tabbing numeric fields = OFF
  ENDIF

ControlCenter Checked Checked Unchecked
Form Options Checked Unchecked Checked
Non-Numeric Fields Yes No Yes
Numeric Fields Yes No No
