Entering Numeric Values
Numeric values are entered character for character using the input keys on the
system keyboard. If a value is already present in the field, it disappears com-
pletely from the field when the first character is entered. After starting entering
input, it is not possible to exit from the field concerned until the input is either
confirmed or cancelled.
The following values can be entered in numeric input fields:

Input in numeric fields is generally aligned to the right.
Digits entered move to the left (pocket calculator format).
Limit values can be configured for numberic input. A limit value check is per-
formed in these fields. Entered values are only applied if they are within the
configured limits. If a value entered is outside these limits, a system message is
issued. After confirming the message, the original input value is transferred
into the field.
If a field is configured with a specific number of decimal places, too many
decimal places are ignored and too few filled with 0s following confirmation
of the input.
