Hilmar:

I must have done a poor job explaining what I want.

If you say @ n, n get field1 PICTURE '@K', then when the user cursors over to that field, the entire field is selected and if the user types one character, the original data disappears. I want to know if I can get the same effect by SETting something, rather than having to go through 100 programs adding the 'PICTURE '@K' to every GET. I don't have to have the effect of selecting the entire field, I would just like to have all the original data disappear when the user types one character into that GET field.
