How is the stopper byte different from an auto skip byte ?..

Answer / mamta

ASKIP is used for display only fields. So if you tab on the
screen the cursor will not stop at any askip fields. If a
field needs be updated/entered by the user then it should
have a stopper byte at the end to prevent the cursor from
moving on to the next field on the screen.
