- Continued-entry fields are converted into single entry fields in the form of
HTML text areas. In DDS, if a 60 character input field is specified with
CNTFLD(10), then you will have 6 lines of 10 characters each for the field and
the end-user will only be able to enter a maximum of 60 characters. The text
area is similarly defined with 6 rows and 10 columns (e. g.
<TEXTAREA rows="6" cols="10">) and the
user will only be able to enter a maximum of 60 characters. However, the number
characters in each line and the number of lines that are displayed in the text
area will differ depending on the font that is used for the Web application. For
example, on a 5250 display, some text entered into a field specified with
CNTFLD(30) might look like:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOn the Web, with a non-monospace font, you might see:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAA
Note: The keyboard Enter key is not enabled for continued-entry fields.
