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.

An example from the above table:
[0|255] 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.

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 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.
When operating with a mask, the mask should be displayed with placeholders. The "-" character should display where
you should enter a character. The arrow keys will move between the "-" characters and allow you to replace them. The
text entry code operates as if it is in the overwrite mode. If the cursor is positioned on a character already entered and you
type in a new (and valid) character, the new character replace the old character. There is no shifting of characters.
When working with ranges specified by the [] mask, the keyboard allows you to enter a number between the values listed
in the ranges. If a user enters a value that is larger than the max, the maximum number of right-most characters is used to
create a new, acceptable value.

Example 1: If you type "125" into a field accepting 0-100, then the values displayed will be "1", "12", "25".

Example2: If the max for the filed was 20, then the values displayed will
be "1", "12", "5".
When data overflows from a numerical field, the overflow value is added to the previous field on the chain, if the
overflow character was specified. In the above example, if the overflow flag was set, the first example will place the "1"
into the previous logical field and the second example will place "12" in the previous logical field. If the overflow filed
already contains a value, the new value will be inserted to the right of the current characters and the overflow field will be
evaluated. Overflow continues to work until a filed with no overflow value is set or there are no more fields left (i.e.
reached first field).
