Operating the Split Screen Feature
Mark
To select a field as the source field for a subsequent paste operation, hold down the Alt
key while you press the F4 key (Mark). See “Mark/Paste” on Page 8-7 for a complete
description.
Paste
To select a field as the target field and paste source data into that field, move the cursor to
the target field and hold the Alt key while you press the F5 key (Paste). The data in the
source field is pasted into the target field. If there is already data in the target field, that
data is overwritten with the data from the source field. See “Mark,” above, for instructions
on how to select a source field. The target field cannot be in the same session as the
source field. See “Mark/Paste” on Page 8-7 for additional information about mark and
paste.
Paste Horizontal
To select a field as the target field, paste source data into that field, and then select the
next source and target fields, move the cursor to the target field and press and hold the Alt
key while you press the F6 key (Paste Horizontal). The data in the source field is pasted
into the target field, the field beneath the current source field becomes the new source
field, and the cursor moves to the field beneath the current target field. If the current
source or target field is the bottom field on the screen, the topmost field on the next line
becomes the new source or target field. If the current source or target field is the last field
on the screen, the Mark/Paste function ends. If there is already data in the target field,
that data is overwritten with the data from the source field. See “Mark,” above, for
instructions on how to select an initial source field. The target field cannot be in the same
session as the source field. See “Mark/Paste” on Page 8-7 for additional information
about mark and paste.
Paste Vertical
To select a field as the target field, paste source data into that field, and then select the
next source and target fields, move the cursor to the target field and press and hold the Alt
key while you press the F7 key (Paste Vertical). The data in the source field is pasted into
the target field, the field beneath the current source field becomes the new source field,
and the cursor moves to the field below the current target field. If the current source or
target field is at the bottom of the screen, the Mark/Paste function terminates. If there is
already data in the target field, that data is overwritten with the data from the source
field. See “Mark,” above, for instructions on how to select an initial source field. The
target field cannot be in the same session as the source field. See “Mark/Paste” on Page
8-7 for additional information about mark and paste.
