You shouldn't have to write any code. My guess is that since you didn't
specify the maximum number of characters for the field, it's defaulting to 0
(I think the syntax is MAXCHARS #). The only other odd thing is the dynamic
size declaration. You don't want that (that's only for a field whose bounds
change dynamically as more is typed; that requires additional code).
