A continuous-entry field is a way to define a long field in DDS, and
have it wrap to a specific width. Something like:
Description . . . . : _________________________
_________________________
In this case, Description is a single 50-character field, wrapped at a
width of 25. Inserting and deleting characters should work correctly,
as if the field were wrapped at the right-hand edge of the terminal.
Having said that, it only works on enhanced workstation controllers.
I think Client Access can do it, but I just checked and tn5250
doesn't. I doubt it ever did.
And having said all that, I don't think a continuous entry field is
supposed to wrap at blanks anyway - that's a different function,
WRDWRAP. Again, this is only supported by enhanced workstation
controllers, and probably Client Access.

Could you explain this to a non-DDS person? ;-)

I assume you mean that the fields are not re-ordered? I don't think this
was ever implemented. Has this worked for you in the past?
