When the SBA is not specified in the WTD command, the data starts at row 1,
column 1. This is where the WTD command initialized it.
Format:
The Set Buffer Address order is formatted as follows:
Row and column addresses begin with 1. However, the computer accepts column
address hex 00 and translates it to column 1.
Start of Field
Description:
The Start of Field (SF) order defines input and output fields. If an input field is
being defined, it also resets any pending AID byte and locks the keyboard.
Format:
The Start of Field order is formatted as follows:
To include format information in the Start of Field order, use this format:
To include format and control information in the Start of Field order, use this
format:
You can include the control word only after you have provided a format word. You
can also insert several control words between the format and attribute portions of
the SF order, but these control words are not
required.
About the Start of Field Format Information
In the Start of Field order format portion, the two most significant bits (15 and 14)
must always be hex 01. The next table describes all bits in the format portion.
