THe field length is determined by the position of the next attribute character. If you need a one character field, use a one character variable name. Or use the ZVARS statement to map a real variable name to a Z.
You cannot restrict the typing. You can only verify the field after the user presses Enter (or PF key). |

| If you want the user to only enter characters, you can test the field in the panel. ALPHAB allows A-Z and a-z

When you have:
| Code: |
)BODY
+ ENTER HOLIDAY INDICATOR : _JHND+ <= up to 4 chars |
then ISPF will reserve 4 positions for the variable JHND.
You already know that if you need more, you just have to add spaces:
| Code: |
)BODY
+ ENTER HOLIDAY INDICATOR : _JHND + <= up to 8 chars |
If you want to reserve less than the name of the variable, you must use the Z variable in the following way:
| Code: |
)BODY
+ ENTER HOLIDAY INDICATOR : _Z+ <= only 1 char
)INIT
.ZVARS = '(JHND)' |
If you have more than one small field, you have to make sure you have as many zvars as you have Z fields:
| Code: |
)BODY
+ ENTER HOLIDAY INDICATOR : _Z+ <= only 1 char
+ ARE YOU SURE ? _Z+ <= one more char
)INIT
.ZVARS = '(JHND RUSURE)' |
[/code] |
