    Appendix A: Text Formatting Text Area Input Masking Text Area Input Masking can be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area. For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters but, with input masking, you could limit them to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits.

  • Page 191: Input Mask Ranges

    Refer to the following Send Commands for more detailed information: • ^BIM page 122). • ^BMF ^BMF section on page 124). 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.

    Appendix A: Text Formatting 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.
