String parameter with edit mask 1

[suburbanites]

I am using CRXI SP1.
I have a year parameter that's a string and placed an edit mask of 0000. The edit mask took away the comma but I see a comment on top of the parameter "This prompt has an edit mask: 0000". How do you get rid of this comment?

Any help will be greatly appreciated..

I believe the edit mask in XI works by instructing the user on how to enter the value, so that the entry fails if not entered according to the instruction--this is different from earlier versions that actually blocked the entry itself. There is no way I know of to eliminate the instruction and maintain the mask.

Thanks lbass. I think they just have to live with the instructions.
