The combination |p (vertical bar, lower case p) causes INFLD to revert to behavior as similar as possible to the old INPUT.SBR. Some of the differences include: use of dots instead of underlines; always blank 3 spaces to right of field; use Ctrl+W for record abort instead of Ctrl+E; throw away characters above ‘z’ ("{", "|", "}", "~"); and allow months 1-13 and days 1-31 in all dates. This capability was added for users converting from INPUT.SBR that wanted to preserve those idiosyncrasies while taking advantage of field editing and other enhancements of INFLD.
