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.
Regards,
-Marc Vos
