Lindy You need to set up all the "protected" attributes between "unprotected" field A and the following "unprotected" field B to have the "autoskip" attribute bit set.
Here's what the 3174 Functional Description manual says about it: <quote> 2.1.6.1.2 Automatic Skip Upon entry of a character into the last character location of an unprotected data field, the cursor is repositioned according to the attribute character describing the next field. However, if the field attribute character describing the next field defines the field as numeric and protected, the cursor automatically skips that field and is positioned to the first character location of the next unprotected field. </quote> http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/cn7a7003/2.1.6.1.2 Note that the "numeric only" bit in an "unprotected" field attribute doubles as the "autoskip" bit in a "protected" field attribute. Thus, if the coding technique has a name for each bit, the bit settings you need are "protected" on and "numeric" on.
