numeric input field

[pet0etie]

We have an input-field that's defined like this :

A KLNRSS1 6Y 0B 3 10EDTCDE(3)
A DSPATR(UL)
A DSPATR(CS)

Suppose we fill up that field with an initial value of '3' then it is displayed like this : ".....3"

When the user wants to change the value towards "15" he starts typing (at the beginning of the field) so the field fills up like this "15...3" (the 3 remains)
When we push the enter-button now, the blank fields are replaced by zeros and we get "150003" and so 150003 is also used on the enter-validation as value in the field

Is there a way that we can get the 15 as final value that is used on the enter-validation ?

As this field is displayed on a scanner (for clients), there are some restrictions :
- we only have one button "enter" on the scanner so an "field exit" and a "enter" cannot be used as 2 buttons
- the screen-validation is executed when pushing the enter-button
- the change of field is made by using the "tab"

Any ideas how to solve this ... by using some DSPATR- or CHECK-stuff ... or anything else ?

Thanks for your replies

User presses the FIeld-exit or Field+ (I map the right ctrl as Field-exit and the + on numeric keypad as Field+) after typing in 15 and it will erase everything from the cursor to the end of the field.

1. Ask the vendor if they have a solution. No sense reinventing the wheel.
2. Can the scanner scan a FIELD EXIT barcode?
3. Maybe add RANGE(1 1000). If the initial value is only 3, I am guessing 150003 is way outside the expected range.
