LDS Plus Reference Guide 

The GermanFldCntrl parameter determines whether German field control codes are used in LDS 
Plus forms. There are seven control codes used in LDS Plus forms that allow you to restrict data 
entry on the form fields. To avoid a conflict between the control codes and the German character 
set, select Yes. 

When the parameter is set to Yes, German form field control codes are used. These control codes 
are: 

! 21

@

Upper case alpha/numeric (see below)

When the parameter is set to Yes AND when using File operating mode (see System 
Menu|Operating Mode parameter) the “at” (@) control character must be preceded by a backslash 
(\) since this character has special meaning in LDS. For example, \@. 

When the parameter is set to No, English form field control codes are used. These control codes 
are: 

[ 5B

When the GermanFldCntrl parameter is set to No AND when using File operating mode (see 
System Menu|Operating Mode parameter) the backslash (\) control character and the caret (^) 
control character must be preceded by a backslash (\) since these characters have special meaning 
in LDS. For example, \\.
