Dear Titus

1.I need to restrict a field to accept only 4 numbers during entry

Code: Select all

numeric findlength=length(strip(maketext("%d",variablename)));
if  findlength<4 then

errmsg ("Answer is not correct.");
reenter;
else
endif;

2. I need to restrict field not to accept zero during entry.

There are two options:

Option 1:

Code: Select all

If variablename= 0 then

errmsg ("You can not enter [...Zero...]", );
reenter;
else
endif;

Option 2

You can set range other than {0} in the value set labels.
