Well, congratulations, then, Flavius; you win our prize (my voice on your
home answering machine -- no, wait; that's Saturdays).

You mark the only time in 28 years that I have *ever* run across data entry 
that required putting a vertical bar/pipe character in an entry field as part
of regular data.  And yes, most of that has been business DP and most of it
was filePro.

What the heck are your folks entering?  :-)
