| A field in CICS map is alphanumeric X(10) and has its attr unprot, num, brt with mdt on. Now when i key in a date 01/01/2008, it works fine. On the second time I override the date to 100108 and use the DELETE key to wipe out the remaining 7-10 bytes on the screen. On receving the map, the vlaue 100108 has leading zeroes and the value is 0000100108 and therefore edit for the date fails. I am not sure why the field is populated with leading zeroes instead of 100108 left justified. |

Hello,
Possibly because you called it "num" on the screen? |

NUM fields default to left zero fill.
seems the map X(10) is expecting date to be entered with / characters.
change the attribute to just unprot,brt,fset |

| The attr is set to CHAR when sending the map. Also the program doesnot expect '/' to be keyed in. Date routine takes care of the format. Any other ideas ?? |

The attr is set to CHAR when sending the map
this is not happening , if you are receiving a leftzero filled field.
0000100108 |

| The attr is definitely set to char ('I' is the value). There are similar fields which doesnot have any problem when pressing the DELETE key but just for one field. It is strange to understand. |

if you are moving the character I to FIELDA
move 'I' to FIELDA
and getting leftzero fill on input, it sounds more like the attribute
field contains low values or has been corrupted with a character
that is causing num attribute.
I would double check the program logic.
please post copy of
BMS map DFHMDF statement for the date field
and program logic that you say is setting the attribute
prior to CICS send map |

| Thanks for the direction. DFHMDF was JUSTIFY (right, zero). I changed it to (left, blank) and it worked!. Thank You. |
