In Figure 227, RECORD1 has an input-capable field that has been displayed and read and that should be left on the display while RECORD2 is displayed and read. To prevent further entries in FLD1 in RECORD1, send an output operation to RECORD2 with PROTECT in effect. When this is done, FLDA is not protected, but FLD1 is protected.
