Error 630 using character field with format using "999..."
In a character field formatted with "9"s, error 630 can result
if a user starts entering data then leaves the field before fully
satisfying the format.
** Character at position <n> must be digit. (630)
Example character formats where this will happen:
"999-999-9999"
"(999) 999-9999"
"99/99/99"
Example code which gives the error:
DEF VAR x AS CHAR FORMAT "999-999-9999".
UPDATE x.
This is not a bug. The behavior is a consequence of this type of
format.
To avoid the error, a format should be used that does not use "9"s:
DEF VAR x AS CHAR FORMAT "xxx-xxx-xxxx".
