    Hi Charley,

    The "Enter" key is bound to the same action as the first button, usually OK, it is a form key not a field-specific key. Here is a section from the documentation on this:

    Enter: Pressing Enter, <Enter>, performs the same action as the first button of the form button list. This is usually hiFormDone() for non-options forms and hiToggleEnterForm() for options forms. If you specify your own button list, you need to be aware that the action of <Enter> will change. For example, if your button list is


    'ApplyCancelDef, the action of <Enter> in a type-in field performs the hiFormApply() action.

    You can also customize this feature by specifying the button that you want to link to Enter. You do this setting the following environment variable in your .cdsenv file:

    ui formDefaultAction string "value"

    where value is the buttonText of the button that you want to link to <Enter>.

    When this variable is set, the g_buttonLayout argument is searched for the button whose text equals the value of the variable. The first button that is found becomes the default button.

    If the specified value is not found in g_buttonLayout, then <Enter> performs the same action as the first button of the form button list.

    Hopefully this helps you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
