Appendix

Input mask ranges

These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only

one range is allowed per field. Using a range implies a numeric entry ONLY.

Input Mask Ranges

Character	Meaning
[	Start range
]	End range
	Range Separator

An example from the above table:

[0255] This allows a user to enter a value from 0 to 255.

Input mask next field characters

These characters allow you to specify a list of characters that cause the keyboard to move the focus to the next field when pressed instead of inserting the text into the text area.

Input Mask Next Field Char

Character Meaning

{Start Next Field List

}End Next Field List

An example from the above table:

{.} or {:} or {.:} Tells the system that after a user hits any of these keys, proceed to the next text area input box.

Input mask operations

Input Mask Operators change the behavior of the field in the following way:

Input Mask Operators

Character Meaning

<Forces all characters to be converted to lowercase

>Forces all characters to be converted to uppercase

^Sets the overflow flag for this field

Input mask literals

To define a literal character, enter any character, other than those shown in the above table (including spaces, and symbols). A back-slash ('\') causes the character that follows it to be displayed as the literal character. For example, \A is displayed just as the letter A. To define one of the following characters as a literal character, precede that character with a back-slash. Text entry operation using Input Masks

A keyboard entry using normal text entry is straightforward. However, once an input mask is applied, the behavior of the keyboard needs to change to accommodate the input mask's requirement. When working with masks, any literal characters in the mask will be "skipped" by any cursor movement including cursor keys, backspace, and delete.
