3.2.2 Entering Alphanumeric Values
In an input of alphanumeric values, digits and letters are mixed.
For the numerical components of the input, proceed as described in section

you must enable the alphanumeric character set.
To enter the string 18OCT61, for example, proceed as follows:

The extended character set becomes available.

set.

The character you selected is applied by moving the cursor.
5. Select C and move right one position using the RIGHT arrow key.
6. Select T and move right one position using the RIGHT arrow key.
7. Release the SHIFT key. The extended character set is de-activated.

your input by pressing the ENTER key.
