Description

If SET CONFIRM is ON, the [RETURN] key must be pressed to finish entering data into a field on a form. When CONFIRM is OFF, filling the field causes the cursor to move automatically to the start of the next field. If the field is the last active field on the screen, the cursor will not go to the first field of the next record. The [NEXT RECORD] key must be pressed to access the next record. By default, CONFIRM is OFF.
