Is there a simple way to determine if a decimal point was explicitly keyed in a numeric field? I've tried about every trick (and combination of tricks) that I can think of.

I can do it programmatically by defining the screen field as alpha and a second field as numeric but this gets a bit ugly, and could involve dozens of fields in hundreds of programs.

The basic test of ---

if %int(field) = field;

--- works fine unless the user keys in a value like 15.0000.


Any ideas?


TIA.
