Directive

Name

Description

A

Auto Skip

Instructs Magic xpa to move automatically to the next field, without waiting for a next variable action, when the last character of the variable has been typed during data entry.

Default: No

Platform specific: This directive is not supported for mobile devices.

Zc

Zero Fill

Instructs Magic xpa to replace any 0 of the displayed variable with the character value. If you do not specify any character, the variable is padded with blanks.

Note: c represents a mask character. To use a directive character, for example X, where c appears, preface it with a backslash, as in \X.

Default: no character

Sample

Since Magic xpa defines the default picture mask HH/MM/SS for a Time variable, the sample area initially shows HH/MM/SS also. If you change the default picture, this area shows the exact template of the variable as it will be displayed, that is, which mask characters are displayed and how many positions the variable will occupy on screen or report forms.
