Could you let them enter 5 & blank and then when you read the screen, do
an evalr ScrField = %trimr(ScrField) ?

HI I have a 2 pos. alpha field but in reality it is only getting numbers.

I want to prevent them from not hitting the field exit key - eventually this
field will be used as numeric. So if they enter 5 and a blank that is 50 rather
than 05.

I could make it numeric and then back out i suppose but is there a way

besides that?
