Tag 050 - Check Boxes

Simplify supports a Check Boxes Message. The Request displays a screen with up to 100 check boxes and up to three lines of text. The customer can select one or more check boxes. A field in the Request (Required) determines whether the Enter key is accepted when no check box is selected. With the exception of the Tag value, the format of this request is identical to that for Tag 040.

One field in the Check Boxes Response (ActionButton) will indicate whether Enter or Cancel was pressed. If Enter was pressed, another field (Data) will indicate the check box(es) selected by the customer (if any).
