program crash, minus sign alone entered in numeric text box

[amc]

I have an input screen with a number of text boxes defined as decimal 6,0
If a user enters a minus sign alone into one of the text boxes and hits enter, they are returned to the rpg program which crashes with the following error

I would have expected this invalid input to be trapped at the screen level without being returned to the rpg program.

How can I prevent my program from crashing on this type of invalid input being returned ?

I'm trying to reproduce this issue, but I get an error telling me that "-" is not a valid number. This shows up in a "tool tip" next to the field on the screen, and the screen does not submit.

Can you provide details of how you've set up this field?

i created a test display file with only one field as per the image attached

if i put a minus sign in the field & hit enter, it returns to the rpg program & crashes

Thanks! I've been able to reproduce the problem, but I haven't yet determined what's going on. I'll discuss this with the rest of the dev team on Monday.

I've fixed this problem on our development box. The fix will be in the next release of ProfoundUI.

[Scott Klement]

Version 4.1.4 of ProfoundUI is now available for download. It fixes the crash when you put a minus sign in the text box, by itself.

After installing 4.1.4, please make sure you clear/refresh your browser cache so the old copy of the code isn't still in the computer's memory. (I just got bit by that one, myself! hehehe)

Thanks Scott, I can confirm the v414 has solved the problem
