Adding a Number of Input Fields descriptor

A Number of Input Fields descriptor is evaluated as true if the number specified in the descriptor is equal to the total number of input fields present in the currently displayed application screen.
Important: The Number of Input Fields descriptor is not supported when the screen message contains BMS map information and is used in a flow having a flow type of Link3270 Bridge (see Support for screen descriptors in the runtime environments).
To create a Number of Input Fields descriptors:
  1. Right-click the screen description to which you want to add the descriptor.
  2. Click Add Descriptor > Add Num Input Fields Descriptor.
    Note: Alternatively, instead of doing steps 1 and 2, you can do the following:
    1. On the Screen Descriptions tab, click the screen description to which you want to add the descriptor.
    2. Click Screen Messages > Add Num InputFields Descriptor on the menu bar of the workbench.
  3. The descriptor is created. The Number of Input Fields property of the descriptor is set to the total number of input fields present in the currently displayed application screen.
Note: A screen description can contain only one Number of Input Fields descriptor.

You can modify the properties displayed in the Properties view:
  1. Select the property that you want to modify.
  2. Type or select the value that you want the property to have.
Tip: If the Properties view is not visible, see Opening or reopening a view.

Table 1 lists each property and its significance:
Table 1. Number of Input Fields descriptor
Property: Significance:
Invert Match After the descriptor has been evaluated as true or false with respect to the currently displayed application screen, the value of the Invert Match property is checked:
  • If the Invert Match value is true, then the boolean result obtained by evaluating the descriptor is inverted, changing true to false or false to true.
  • If the Invert Match value is false, then the boolean result is not inverted.
Number of Input Fields Specifies the number of input fields that are present in the application screen.
