Don't do it this way... it's ugly: But in any case asuming you're using informix 4gl: Use CONSTRUCT. It is used to fill a filter for a query, but you will have a chance to use BEFORE and AFTER... which is similar to INPUT. The thing is that if you try to enter some input larger than the available field size then a line appear to enter more data... and enter then, more characters than the available space. Chucho!
