the entry of overlay elements are made:

An overlay consists of a number of sequence lines, each defining a part of the overlay like
frames, lines, text constants etc.
When entering a screen with existing sequence lines the last entered lines will be
displayed. The system simply believes that you intend to continue entering overlay
elements
You can scroll through the lines using page-up and page-down.
Each line in the overlay definition is accessed via its sequence number. If you select an
existing sequence number you will be able to update or delete this particular line. If you
select a line number not already in the definition it means you wish to add a new line.
Sequence numbers can be entered with 1 decimal position. This opens up the possibility
of inserting a new line anywhere in the definition, as the specification of a line with a
decimal results in the addition of 1 to the sequence numbers of all succeeding lines in the
definition. The new line is placed in the vacant space in the reference series. As example
entering 12,1 will insert a sequence number between line 12 and 13. When saved the
inserted sequence line is assigned number 13 and the following lines are incremented by
one.
After entering a sequence number press the Field Exit key to add or edit this line. The
key mapping of keyboards varies from one PC to another. The Field Exit key could be
assigned to e.g. the right Ctrl key, the Enter key or the ‘+’ key of your numeric keyboard.
