Re: Handheld Barcode Input

If the field is defined as numeric you should add an edit code in the 
display file to eliminate the need to use the field exit key which the 
scanner probably does not support.

I can key my numbers using the keyboard into the fields which are to be filled by the barcode scan and the program functions as designed.  I recompiled the original program and I get the same error.  When running the original application in production, the scan function performs correctly.  My next course of action is to get someone of authority to copy the original objects to my test library.  As the user ID for the handheld is restricted, I am putting my programs into the designated library and cannot directly call the original program on the development system.
