Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When TextUIProgram converses a TextForm with a char field that has the dateFormat property, and the user types something in the field, then whatever the user typed must fit the specified date format. This is true even if the user typed into the field by mistake then erased their typing with Backspace, Delete, or by typing spaces. The EGL COBOL runtime can be configured to ignore the input in this case, and not give a validation error. But the EGL Java runtime does not have an equivalent setting.
Problem conclusion
A new Java runtime property has been added. Put vgj.datefield.valid.blanks=1 in the program's properties file to indicate that blanks in the field should not cause a validation error.
Temporary fix
