Dynamically Changing Fields in a SEM Input Form from the "Fields" script

Finding your way around the SEM development Interface

The purpose of the "Fields" script is to populate an input form before it is displayed, but not only can the text within a field be changed, but the characteristics of the field can also be changed.

This section describes the possibilities for changing the input form from the Fields script before the form is displayed.

Adding Text into a Field

   print "AA : text data\n";      # where "AA" is the field code of the required field

Making a Field Read-Only

   print "AA ! text data\n";      # where "AA" is the field code of the required field

Making a Field Read-Write

   print "AA ~ text data\n";      # where "AA" is the field code of the required field

Hiding a Field

   print "AA - \n";      # where "AA" is the field code of the required field

Setting a List of Selectable Entries in a List Field

   print "AA @ 1st entry\\2nd entry\\3rd entry\n";      # where "AA" is the field code of the required field

Adding Selectable Entries to an Existing Set in a List Field

   print "AA + 4th entry\\5th entry\\6th entry\n";      # where "AA" is the field code of the required field

Pre-Selecting Entries in a List Field

   print "AA : 2nd entry\\5th entry\n";      # where "AA" is the field code of the required field
