I've just reported a bug to ProIV - green screen only, it doesn't affect GUI.

Kernel: 6.2.59-PR, 64-Bit. Tested on HP-UX 11.23 PA-RISC 64-bit, and on Linux (uncertain of specific OS version).

If a user types in (or copy'n'pastes) input greater than the length of the input field, 021 Entry Is Too Long . . . Re-Enter, is displayed. Pressing Enter again, restores the prior value of the field.

eg. if you have an input field of length 3, and you type in ABCD then Enter, the problem arises.

In GUI and also in all prior kernel releases/versions that I'm familiar with - input greater than the field length is just ignored (or maybe it's truncated); either way, it is/was a non-issue for users.

Thanks ProIV Support for their quick response. Apparently this was a bug fix, that is being reconsidered. CRT_INPLEN_ERR=N in your .ini('s) works to suppress this feature.
