Issue

How can I enforce numeric field checking even if the end user disables it in their session profile?

Solution

For PASSPORT PC to Host:

You can force numeric field checking to always be on even if the end user disables it in their session profile. To do this, you will need to set the numeric field checking option in the ZCC file.

1. Open the PASSPORT session's ZCC file in a text editor such as Notepad.
2. Set "NumericFieldChecking=YES"
3. Save the ZCC file
4. With the "NumericFieldChecking" parameter set to "YES" in the ZCC file, numeric field checking will be turned on each time the user connects to that session.
