BUG: Numeric Edit Fields Allow Non-numeric Input

ID: Q182836

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft COM Transaction Integrator for CICS and IMS version 1.0 included with SNA Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use Component Builder (CB), numeric edit controls (used to enter numeric data) will accept non-numeric data, if it is pasted, not typed. At least, the controls give the appearance of accepting the data. The value of the data defaults to zero and does not cause a problem at runtime, unless zero is the wrong value.

Although the controls prevent you from typing non-numeric data, they do allow you to paste non-numeric data.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft COM Transaction Integrator for CICS and IMS version 1.0. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
