modifying data

Description

To modify one or more records use the MOD command from either of the two browsing screens. This will make all appropriate fields modifiable. Once you have finished entering the new data, press ENTER to commit the record(s), or PF3 to cancel any changes. Unique keys are not modifiable from the report screen, however they can be modified on the detail screen.

If you have set any mask fields and the mask display is ON, you must enter the field's data in its mask format.
