Man, that makes zero sense! Can you you write a string when it's full?

I think what he meant was If  there's a way to clear out the string in the PLC? If so, can you live  by with spaces? or use PLC to clear it out

Why would you want to use the keypad for strings? Use the alphanumeric keyboard.

Sorry, my fault..! I use alphanumeric keyboard not the keypad..!
And my issues is really when the string is empty , the « alphanumeric » won’t popup !

Now we are getting somewhere. What version and what driver? I've never had this issue, but I've always used the latest and logix drivers.

I forgot to ask what control are you using to call the keyboard, basic label?

Turn autosize to false, then you will be able to edit an empty string.  I always have mine to false, so I had to think a second.
