  Program Version    :  7.5.1.5
  Description.
  Running Web Transaction applications which include numeric input

  Thereafter when selecting any numeric fields the cursor is displ

   digits.
  The user needs to reposition the cursor manually fully to the le
  ft to enter any values although these again do not correctly rep
  resent the field length.
  
  This has been identified as an error in how any blanks are handl
  ed from around the numeric value when the field is part of an ar
  ray.
