I am trying to create a button that will field exit then enter. If you enter wihout field exit the code entered will not be found unless it is long enough to fill the entire field. In 5250 it is a 8 character input field that must be right justified. On green screen you type the code, press field exit then enter.

I ended up doing this. Combining some advice from a js guy with what little I know of Genie.
Code: Select all
pui.set("I_4_21", (" " + get(I_4_21)).slice(-9));
presskey("Enter");
Anyway, this works. I would like to know if there is a way to use presskey with "Field exit". I tried several variations on "Field Exit" with no success.

How about:
Code: Select all
pui.fieldExit();
pressKey("Enter");
That assumes the cursor is already where you want it to be when you hit field exit...
