RE: FW: Keyword on DSPF entry field

["Smith, Nelson" <NSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know you're right, and that is how we will fix this particular issue, but
is it reasonable to have to have a field-specific reasonableness tests on
every numeric field?

I'm just surprised that we, as a user community, have put up with this all
these years without demanding more from the vendor(s).  Sorta like how
everyone puts up with Windows, I suppose. When I stumbled across this
problem again recently, I knew it had been this way 20 years ago, but I felt
surely someone had come up with a fix or workaround by now that I just
hadn't heard about.  The fact that the Enter key works properly and the Tab
key doesn't tells me it was a design choice made by the vendor, arbitrarily.
No one is going to change operating systems over a minor issue like this,
but that doesn't change the fact that it's still a shoddy design.  Oh, well.
