Cheque edit

[Del]

Hi:

The following question came up today while I was working with a customer on a new check form for a laser printer:

We are using the edit named "cheque", which is a standard edit that is included with filePro, and we are editing into a character field that is 86 characters in length (presumably because when they were printing to a dot matrix, that was the max width of the form).

They tried to print a one million dollar check and the character string was blank.  I assumed this was an edit failure, and went to define edits to test the cheque edit (never did that before - I don't comprehend edits very well).  Anyway, I find that the edit fails at 100,000.00, no matter what length I use.  It appears to be coded so that it won't go beyond 99,999.99.

I don't know the edit language well enough to know if it can be made to go to larger numbers.  Has anybody done this?  Please advise.
