Specifying Unprotected Fields on a Form 
Specify the unprotected character positions by using field control characters that specify fields as 
unprotected to allow operators to enter data into certain fields on a form. Refer to the following 
sections for keys and examples.  
In addition, the field control characters are used to restrict the type of data (numeric, alpha, 
alphanumeric, etc.) the operator can enter into individual character positions of the unprotected 
fields.   
The restriction as to the type of data applies only to keyboard entered data.  Any data that is 
entered using barcode scanners or through an RS-232 port is entered without regard to the coded 
data type restriction, except host-only field control which Aux/BC cannot enter data into. 
These characters (when using the default US ASCII keyset) identify unprotected fields of the 
form and control the type of data entry permitted in each character position. All protected field (or 
character) types, except the left bracket, also accept the SPACE character. The characters are 
slightly different when using Swedish keysets or German keysets. The field control characters 
may be mixed in any order within a field. 
Only one set of field control characters (e.g. German, Swedish, etc) may be used in the DOS 
terminal per session. 
Refer to the specific parameter information in Chapter 3, “TE Configuration Utility”: 
SwedishFldCntrl and GermanFldCntrl. 
Default Unprotected Coding Characters 
When the LDS Plus SwedishFldCntrl and GermanFldCntrl are set to No, the unprotected 
character positions of a form are identified by coding characters from the following list.  The host 
application programmer must code these characters into the original form that is sent to the 
terminal.  The terminal software converts these characters to underscores for operator viewing. 
Bar code and auxiliary input only (no keyboard) 
\ Uppercase 
alphanumeric 
and space, but no symbols 
Numeric and space only 
Upper case alpha and space only 
Any keyboard entry 
Any keyboard character, but without displaying (for passwords) 
Host entry only (any character)
