Control Code Command Changes

Within the Buffered Form Execute <data> field, the ^-, ^+, ^*, and ^, commands do not perform their usual functions, but instead behave as described below:

^-

Causes unfilled portions of the current data field to be padded

 

with spaces. This is used if there are insufficient data characters

 

to fill the current field. The entire data field is converted to spaces

 

if this is the only input in the field.

^+

Deletes any unused portions of a data field. No data will be

 

printed in the data field if this is the only input in the field.

^*

This is identical in function to the ^- function, in that it causes the

 

rest of the current data field to be padded with spaces. The entire

 

data field is converted to spaces if this is the only input in the

 

field. All remaining fields in the buffer are also converted to

 

spaces unless the fields occur within a Copy Command (as

 

described in the “Buffered Form Copy” on page 106).

^,

This command performs a line feed unless it is used within a

 

Copy Command. Refer to “Buffered Form Copy” on page 106.
