Input mask ranges
These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only
one range is allowed per field. Using a range implies a numeric entry ONLY.
An example from the above table:
[0|255] This allows a user to enter a value from 0 to 255.
Input mask next field characters
These characters allow you to specify a list of characters that cause the keyboard to move the focus
to the next field when pressed instead of inserting the text into the text area.
An example from the above table:
{.} or {:} or {.:} Tells the system that after a user hits any of these keys, proceed to the
next text area input box.
Input mask operations
Input Mask Operators change the behavior of the field in the following way:
Input mask literals
To define a literal character, enter any character, other than those shown in the above table
(including spaces, and symbols). A back-slash ('\') causes the character that follows it to be
displayed as the literal character. For example, \A is displayed just as the letter A. To define one of
the following characters as a literal character, precede that character with a back-slash. Text entry
operation using Input Masks
A keyboard entry using normal text entry is straightforward. However, once an input mask is
applied, the behavior of the keyboard needs to change to accommodate the input mask's
requirement. When working with masks, any literal characters in the mask will be "skipped" by any
cursor movement including cursor keys, backspace, and delete.
