Default actions in INPUT

When an INPUT instruction executes, the runtime system creates a set of default actions.

According the invoked default action, field validation occurs and different INPUT control blocks are executed.

This table lists the default actions created for this dialog:

Table 1. Default actions created for the INPUT dialog
Default action	Description
`accept`	Validates the `INPUT` dialog (validates fields and leaves the dialog) Creation can be avoided with `ACCEPT` attribute.
`cancel`	Cancels the `INPUT` dialog (no validation, `INT_FLAG` is set to `TRUE`) Creation can be avoided with `CANCEL` attribute.
`close`	By default, cancels the `INPUT` dialog (no validation, `INT_FLAG` is set to `TRUE`) Default action view is hidden. See Windows closed by the user.
`help`	Shows the help topic defined by the `HELP` clause. Only created when a `HELP` clause is defined.

The accept and cancel default actions can be avoided with the ACCEPT and CANCEL dialog control attributes:
