dont count comma separated in maxlength jqgrid col

Question

I have input field which contains decimal and special characters e.g. comma and dot while calulating the maxLength of the field i want to skip special characters :

{ 
  name: "amount", 
  width: 62, 
  template: "number",
  formatter: "number", 
  formatoptions: {
    decimalSeparator:",", 
    thousandsSeparator: " ", 
    decimalPlaces: 4, 
    defaultValue: '0.0000'
  },
  editoptions: {
    maxlength; 5
    type: "number"
  }
},

I when edit inline record filed "PackageCode" is count decimalSeparator I want don't count decimalSeparator
see demo :https://jsfiddle.net/dnfk8hmr/288/

I'm not sure that I understand what you need to implement. jqGrid don't count decimalSeparator or anything else during inline editing. It just set static value of maxlength, which you use (maxlength="5"). If you need to allows to edit more long values, like 125.22 in your demo, then you can set maxlength dynamically like in the demo https://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/dnfk8hmr/309/, which used

editoptions: {
    maxlength: 5,
    dataInit: function (elem, options) {
        var currentLength = String(elem.value).length;
        if (currentLength > 5) {
            elem.setAttribute("maxlength", currentLength);
        }
    }
}

Additionally you should fix defaultValue to use comma instead of dot (0,00 instead of 0.00 or 0,0000 instead of 0.0000) if you use formatter option decimalSeparator:",".
