Re: EDTMSK and EDTWRD ?

 I think that it should look something like this:
EDTWRD('0  /  / ')
EDTMSK('  &  &  ')
If your workstation controller supports the masking feature, the cursor should automatically skip over the slashes.

Luqman,
I use the wrd/msk combination for dates and discovered that if the field already has a value the dashes are shown and protected. An empty field does not show the dashes. I think that this is a result of the zero suppression in the EDTWRD(' / / 0')

Using EDTMSK and EDTWRD keywords did this, but SDA not displaying the Dashes, just protecting the places where Dashes are placed, how can I display the Dashes ?
