Re: [Tn5250j-general] EDTWRD
Hi Kenneth,
Mocha and Powerterm Pro handle EDTWRD only for display AND only when the
field contains something other than blanks or zeroes. For the rest, it is
just a plain input field. The cursor doesn't even skip the formatting
separtors.
This how a date field [EDTWRD(' - -')] looks like with TN5250j when
it' initially displayed in NON-GUI mode.
__ __
And this with the other two:
__
After filling in something (01012005):
TN5250j:01 01 2005
Others: 01012005
and pressing ENTER, it's displayed like this:
TN5250j:01-01-2005
Others: 01-01-2005
Now, when I start typing a new date, say 1212, it goes like this:
TN5250j:12-12-2005
Others: 12121-2005
At this point, with TN5250j I can use the TAB-key to move to the next field.
With the others I have to continue typing the rest of the date and use
FIELD-EXIT to delete the rest. So TN5250j is running circles around the
others! The only thing left to do is to display the separator characters of
the EDTWRD when the field is empty.

No sure of the problem there. I just use what is sent to me in the
stream. Does it work that way in other emulators like client access or
powerterm?
If it is not the same then we will have to create a log of the
datastream for me to tear into. First check it with CA or the powerterm
emulators.

There's only one thing: TN5250j knows where the separators stand, but it
doesn't show them when a record format is displayed for the first time and
the field contains no data. It's bit weird to see the cursor jump over
spaces while typing data into the field.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] EDTWRD
Hi Kenneth,
Aha! Maybe that's why the other emulators don't honour the mask. Anyway, I
like it better your way.
Thanks for checking it out.
Until now, the latest version you sent me runs perfectly.
Greetings,

OK I just went and created a test file for this to check in both CA and
tn5250j
before we create a whole bunch of dumps for nothing.
Here is the way I created it.
AWNOAC 12 0B 13 20EDTWRD('. - - ')
A EDTMSK('')
This shows up as blanks without the mask characters as you say if the field is
blanks. This happens in both tn5250j and Client Access. Looking in the data
stream the mask characters are not being sent so there is no way for me to
figure them out without it telling me.
To make the field separaters show up all the time the field will have to be
something besides blank or change the edtwrd to use a 0 (zero) like below:
AWNOAC 12 0B 13 20EDTWRD(' 0. - - ')
A EDTMSK('')
The above produces the following if the field is blank or not initialized:
'.00-000-000'
Another example here with the 0 at the beginning:
AWNOAC 12 0B 13 20EDTWRD('0 . - - ')
A EDTMSK('')
The above produces the following if the field is blank or not initialized:
' 000.00-000-000'
Hope that helps but can not do anything about it and also works the same as
Client Access because the controller itself is not sending back the
separators.

Kenneth
