For accept for a field use AUTO Enter is not needed for a fixed sized field or similar. If the data is preloaded then also add UPDATE but without it all data is fresly created with any existing over written. Also see AUTO-SKIP in Prog guide or ref, sections 6.9.3 through 6.9.5

This copy book sits by default in the gnucobol compiler sources in folder copy. Now look in that copybook under "*> Exception keys for mouse handling" where you will find the codes available such as : 78 COB-SCR-MOUSE-MOVE VALUE 2040. 78 COB-SCR-LEFT-PRESSED VALUE 2041. 78 COB-SCR-LEFT-RELEASED VALUE 2042. 78...
