Re: Require a non-blank entry in DDS

For example, for a 10-character field that can be sent to the screen as
blanks but must be returned as non-blank and can have any keyboard value

in it -- including embedded blanks:

A FIELD 9 B 5 10DSPATR(MDT)
A RANGE('¢' '9999999999')

That works great, even if I don't understand what DSPATR(MDT) is doing.
While trying to figure it out, I stumbled on COMP(NE ' ') instead of the
RANGE() keyword, which also works, still needing the DSPATR(MDT) keyword.
