USING AN ENABLE APPLICATION
INSERT BOX

NOTE

Do not enter values in a nested box until you request a
read or insert operation for its containing box. If you
enter values in the nested box before you request an
operation for its containing box, the application will
remove the values from the nested box when it performs the
operation on the containing box. If an application
automatically reads a record for the nested box whenever
you request an operation for the containing box, the
application will replace the values in the nested box with
values read from the data base.

INSERT BOX (Shifted F10)

If you want to insert several records at one time, request an
INSERT BOX operation. Before you request the INSERT BOX
operation, you must enter values in some fields of at least one
record. When the application successfully completes the INSERT
BOX operation, it displays a message indicating the number of
records inserted.

If the application encounters an error during an INSERT BOX
operation, it highlights the fields of the record in error. The
application displays the following prompt on line 2 of the
screen:

Continue processing, Y/N, F1

If the application displays this prompt, you must enter either
the character Y (to indicate that you want to continue) or the
character N (to indicate that you want to stop) and then press
F1. If you enter a Y, the application continues the INSERT BOX
operation beginning with the record directly following the record
in error. If you enter an N, the application stops the INSERT
BOX operation. In this case, the application has already
inserted any records that precede the record in error.

You can reverse the effects of an INSERT BOX operation by
requesting an UNDO (SF13) operation immediately after the INSERT
BOX operation.
