Assuming you're using a standard INPUT statement, use the "INPUT
variable [,length] [:] [_]" format.
Eg. INPUT LINE1,78_:
Which allows the user to enter 78 characters, after which they will have
to press enter (removing the underscore will cause an automatic enter).
The colon prevents a carriage return/line feed.
But before you code anything, check to see if you haven't already got
some kind of text entry/notations subroutine floating around somewhere.
We use a home-grown subroutine which allows our users full editing
facilities for their notations (cursor up, down, casing, word wrapping,
copy & paste, etc. etc).

Subject: [U2] Limit Textfield length
Hi all -
I have a MV field that is used for comments, so the user enters their
text on line one and by pressing enter, they can continue entering on
the 2nd line and so forth. Standard stuff. what I am wondering is if
there is a way to limit enter in the field so that it doesn't allow them
to continue typing and run off the screen. Maybe even automatically
insert a carriage return when they get to the length limit.
Anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks,
Steve
