PLB_SUBTABFORENTER Keyword

PLB_SQLTABLEDB Keyword

PLBWIN Only, 9.6

PLB_SUBTABFORENTER={value}

The *SUBTABFORENTER keyword controls the runtime behavior setting that allows the tab key to be substituted for the enter key when the focus is on a CHECKBOX, COMBOBOX or RADIO object. This behavior applies to any of these objects that are created while this control is set to a non-zero value. If this control's value is zero when one of these objects is created, there is no tab character substitution for the created object. If the value is non-zero, the supported GUI objects will invoke the tab substituted when created.

Also, note that a SETMODE list control *PLB_SUBTABFORENTER alters the behavior under program control. If neither the '*SUBTABFORENTER' control nor the runtime 'PLB_SUBTABFORENTER' keyword is enabled, the default is to not allow tab character substitution.

The tab character substitution was implemented to help provide a smooth flow of keyed data by an end-user with a minimal number of key strokes.
