Hi RBASE-L,
I am trying to use a format mask for 2 data columns in a form. Both are
Text columns. I am converting a 4.5 form to 7.6. The form has been
converted to 7.6 at this point.
The first is a 6 position text column. I want to force a numeric in Pos 1 and 2,
"X" in 3, numeric in Pos 4 and 5 and an optional O or alpha character in position 6.
The current mask works fine for the first 5 characters but doesn't allow entry
of the 6th character. Mask is: 00X00|;1;_
The 2nd challenge is a 10 position text column. The first five positions
should be numeric only, a "-" in position 6, and optionally numeric only in
positions 7-10. Current mask 99999-9999;1;_ is not allowing all the data
to be entered.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Take care,
Ed
