Personally, I wouldn't want to force the user to type everything
right-aligned. Why make the user do this when it's just as easy to have
your program adjust it to the right?

Do something like this:

evalr BankAcct = %triml(BankAcct)

As for checking that it consists only of digits, I'd use the %CHECK BIF
to keep things simple.

if %check('0123456789': %trim(BankAcct)) > 0;
// bad data in BankAcct
endif;

That's my thought, anyway.

Actually, the data is being right-aligned as the user exits the field; I was
more or less concerned with an accidental space being keyed at the end of
the digits.

And yes, it's a bit of overkill - but it's so elegant!

I may go for the %BIF instead since regex scares the bejesus out of my boss.

Thanks!
