AS/400 Date edit - I/O
I have a date field used for input and I want to display the field as / / . and allow the user to type in the numbers where the field puts the numbers where they belong and doesn't disturb the edit for slashes. I thought there was an attribute that would do this, can anyone help me??

Answer Wiki:
If you use the edit code, the user could key in 010203 and get 01/02/03.
If you want distinct fields you need to code 3 seperate input fields.
You could do something like
MM / DD / YY
Remember you need the extra space to the attribute byte.
==========================================================
You are probably thinking of the EDTMSK() field-level keyword.
If you've used it before, you'll pick up its nuances quickly. If not, you might plan some time for practice.
Note that it can work best when an EDTWRD() is also used rather than an EDTCDE(), though both are possible.
