Arbitrary Mask Changes the format category to Custom and makes another text box available, in which you can type
a custom format. Use this option to specify which types of characters the user can enter in any given position, and
how the data displays in the field.
• A Accepts only letters (A–Z, a–z).
• X Accepts spaces and most printable characters, including all characters available on a standard keyboard and
ANSI characters in the ranges of 32–126 and 128–255.
• O The letter “O” accepts alphanumeric characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9).
• 9 Accepts only numeric characters (0–9).
For example, a mask setting of AAA--p#999 accepts the input BOE--p#767. A mask setting of OOOOO@XXX
accepts the input vad12@3Up.
