Thanks for the reply. I will try the unsigned chars setting in the
compiler. I wanted to say that my code is not calling the TxtCharAttr
function. It is happening via the system code somewhere during a field
input. So I have no control over how it is called. This is why I am really
stumped. Perhaps this is an attribute I need to place on the app or the
field that will fix this problem?
