I Don't see a way to apply an input mask in the GUI screen designer. For instance. "99/99/99" or "##/##/##" so that the "/" does not need to be entered? Does anybody know if this is possible. And if so, how?

I use some standard subroutines to basically do an oconv(iconv()) on the data and then set the field value to the result. I also do validation in the fields by comparing the input to the output (if input ne "" and output eq "" then ERROR).
