NOENTRY attribute
The NOENTRY attribute prevents data entry in the field during an input dialog.
Syntax
NOENTRYUsage
Use the NOENTRY attribute to bypass field input during an INPUT
or INPUT ARRAY statement.
A NOENTRY field is like a field permanently disabled with a DIALOG.setFieldActive("fieldname",FALSE) call, it cannot get the focus.
When compiling a form with a field referencing a SERIAL or
BIGSERIAL column in the database schema, the NOENTRY attribute is
automatically set. However, the attribute will not be set if the field is defined with a
TYPE LIKE syntax.
When using a WITHOUT DEFAULTS dialog option, the content of the corresponding
program variable is displayed in the field.
The NOENTRY attribute does not prevent data entry into a field during a
CONSTRUCT statement.
Example
EDIT f001 = order.totamount, NOENTRY;
