  * indicates a required field

Within an FSEDIT window in SAS/FSP Software, you are not allowed to
enter data in a field when INSERT mode is turned on unless you have
deleted any existing characters or blanks in the field. This could cause
your terminal to beep when you try to enter a value.

You can tell that you are in insert mode because your cursor will be a
skinny line, rather than a block.

On PC platforms, you can still type in a one-byte field even if insert
is turned on.

The following are different ways to turn off insert mode:

1. Press the INSERT key on your keyboard

2. Select Tools, Options, Preferences from the AWS Menu and select
   Overtype Mode on the Edit tab

3. In the Microsoft Windows environments, issue the WINSERT OFF
   command within SAS. You can execute this with the SAS Component
   Language (SCL) code in a custom FSEDIT Screen such as in the
   following code fragment:

   fseinit:
      call execcmdi('winsert off');
    return;
