RE: FW: Keyword on DSPF entry field

["Ray, Adam" <ARay@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's another kludge:
Re-map every users tab key to act as a field exit key. That way, if they do
insist on tabbing out of every field, they are actually field existing.
JMO. And a shaky one at that. :O)

        The best kludge, IMO, is to tell your users not to do that.  I'm
sorry, but
        there are numeric fields used on thousands(millions?) of 5250
displays used
        all over the world every day, and users have learned to not tab out
of these
        fields but to hit field exit.  Teach your users the same thing, or
tell them
        you'll give them a dumb tube to work with <g>

        Another kludge: as someone brought up, change the numeric fields to
alpha
        and do your own conversion to numeric.

        Another kludge: write your own 5250 emulator.  In your 5250 emulator
don't
        allow tabs out of numeric fields.

        Another kludge: write your own software interface as a front end to
the
        program.
