RE: Mess with display files...

Eugene,

Your problem is the ERRMSG keyword.  That is causing the "Error2"
message to be displayed, but it does not update the rest of the screen.

To do what you want, I suspect you will have to write the screen with
IN61 off, this will update the CUSTNAME field.  Then write it again
(with no intervening read) with IN61 on.  This will activate the ERRMSG
text.

However, normally when using ERRMSG you would not try and update other
data on the screen.

Regards,
Bob Crothers

Can someone find some 10 minutes to explain me, what am I doing wrong?
I have a trivial display file named Y20DMD5:

A                                      DSPSIZ(24 80 *DS3)
A                                      CF03(03 'EXIT')
A          R CHRG
A                                  3  2'Customer . . .'
A            CUSCPNC        6A  B  3 17COLOR(WHT)
A  61                                  ERRMSG('Error2')
A            CUSNAME       35A  O  3 28
A                                 23  2'F3=Exit'
A                                      COLOR(TRQ)

Then I have a trivial C program :

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <recio.h>
#include <string.h>

#pragma mapinc("hdrf", "*LIBL/Y20DMD5(CHRG)", "both", "_P", "D1", "D1")
#include "hdrf"
#define INPUT_T  D1_CHRG_i_t
#define OUTPUT_T D1_CHRG_o_t

#define IND_ON '1'
#define IND_OFF '0'

int main(void)
{
  _RFILE *fp ;
  _RIOFB_T *rfb ;
  INPUT_T ScreenIn ;
  OUTPUT_T ScreenOut ;

  if ((fp = _Ropen("*LIBL/Y20DMD5", "rr+") ) == NULL)
    return(0) ;

  _Rformat (fp, "CHRG") ;
  ScreenOut.IN61 = IND_OFF ;
  memset(ScreenOut.CUSCPNC, ' ', 6) ;
  memset(ScreenOut.CUSNAME, ' ', 35) ;

  while (1)
  {
    rfb = _Rwrite(fp, &ScreenOut, sizeof(OUTPUT_T)) ;
    rfb = _Rreadn(fp, &ScreenIn, sizeof(INPUT_T), __DFT) ;
    ScreenOut.IN61 = IND_OFF ;
    if ((ScreenIn.IN03 == IND_ON))
    {
      _Rclose(fp) ;
      return(0) ;
    }
    memset(ScreenOut.CUSNAME, 'A', 35) ;
    ScreenOut.IN61 = IND_ON ;
    memcpy(ScreenOut.CUSCPNC, ScreenIn.CUSCPNC, 6) ;
  }
}

It shows a customer prompt and when I enter customer it shows "Error1"
on an error bar, but for some strange reason does not show, that the
CUSNAME field has new value!
At the same time, if I remove the row, setting IN61 to ON, everything
is OK.
What I want, is that it shows changed CUSNAME field AND ALSO an error
text.
Any advise will be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Jevgeni Astanovski.
