In Syteline, many key number like Customer#, Invoice# and such, they have prefix and fixed length.  When key in the number, system can auto expand or auto fill the number based on its format, such as key in “C1”, it will expand to “C000001”. 

To get this auto expand function in a component field of a form, you need to do two things,

1) Give the component a proper component class.  For example, for customer#, it can use component class “CustNum”, "CustNumForBillTo” and quite a few other, depend on your other need (validation, populate other field like name). 

2) Set the component data type, underline type to “NUMSORTCHAR”.
