Error description
On fields that are defined as DDS fields with Right Adjust with Blanks (RB), Right Adjust with Zeros (RZ) or Field Exit Required (FER) the emulatefieldexit is not working as it should. For example: There is a numeric field with 5 digits and CHECK(RB) attribute. 1. The field has preset value below 00022 2. if I update the third digit by '1' 00122 3. Press Enter with the caret on the field 00012 It should be 001 Another pattern 1. The field has preset value below 00022 2. if I update the first digit by '1' 10022 3. Press Enter with the caret on the field 01002 It should be 1
Local fix
Disable emulatefieldexit, or hit the field exit key on these fields.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users that have coded a DDS attribute of * * Check(RZ)- Right justify with Zeros, * * Check(RB) - Right justify with Blanks, or * * Check(FER) - FieldExitRequired. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a user has a 5250 field that is * * coded on the host as a DDS field * * attribute of Check (RB, RZ, or FER), * * and the field has data in it already * * then new data entered and sent to the * * host may be send unwanted data. * * * * For example: T * * * * There is a numeric field with 5 * * digits and CHECK(RB) attribute. * * * * 1.The field has preset value below * * * * 00022 * * * * 2.If I update the third digit by '1' * * * * 00122 * * * * 3.Press Enter with caret on the field * * * * 00012 * * * * It should be * * * * 001 * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The actual cursor position was not being used in HostScreen.java when sending an emulated field exit. Instead the cursor was set to the end of the field data.
Problem conclusion
HostScreen.java was changed so that when emulating a field exit the cursor position that is used is the position of the cursor on the transformation when the the screen is submitted.
