Re: Edit Masks

You can also use the #define function in the setup section:

    #define nbrmask1  $999999999999999.99

and then use it later as:

    print #Total (7,55,0)   edit {nbrmask1}

This way, you don't have to keep typing all the numbers out each time you
want to use the mask.

Does SQR edit mask takes any short form?

for example instead of
      print #Total (7,55,0)   edit $999999999999999.99

is there a short form which can avoid retyping all the fifteen 9's? I
thought the following short form are legal, I tried but got a run-time
error instead
     print #Total (7,55,0)  edit $9(15).99

I appreciate on any helps or suggestions.

Thanks
