<DIV><SPAN class=484115117-26102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I 'm working on an
instance where you may want to change a number in a field that already has a
number in it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=484115117-26102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Currently, I save
the value of the existing field as a variable, and use an INPUT function,
positioning the cursor at the first position of the real field prompting for the
new value. The value that was in the field can not be seen because the input
request is covering it. If the user enters some input I</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=484115117-26102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>assign it to the
real field and use use PUSHKEY "[ENTR]". If the user doesn't enter any
input, the field is filled with the saved previous value, and then the
pushkey.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=484115117-26102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>This works fine,
however, I would like to trap each number until the user presses ENTER on top of
the existing, or ahead if the right justified number didn't completely fill the
field, without using an INPUT function. ex: If I entered 223 in a 6 character
right justified field that already had 123, I would like the results to be 223
and not 223123.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=484115117-26102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a generally
accepted way to do this?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
