Has anyone an example of how to apply an edit mask to a column in a TextGridSSS2?

Resolution

1. Manually modify generated adapter to pass (EM=ZZ) (Remembering to do this each time the adapter is generated)

example:  
NAME U’lines1(_).XSELECTION’  
VALUE LINES1.#SELECTION(_) (EM=ZZ)

1. Change data type on column by simply removing the numeric definition

Not the same as a simple ZP=OFF, but at least there is a solution
