Edit Mask - ZIP + 4 Example

To edit Zip+4 zip codes with a hyphen in front of the additional four digits:

Specify an EDTWRD in YEDTCDERFP with the format:

'_ _ _ _0-_ _ _ _'. This displays as: '_ _ _ _ _-0000'.

If you indicate that this field should be masked, all blank characters, except 0, are masked. The cursor jumps over the - as data is keyed into the field. Without the 0 in the EDTWRD definition, the zip 12345- would display as 1-2345.
