No. Just use FRCDTA on the particular format name. This does the same thing
except only for the one format.  DFRWRT(*NO) for the whole display file
is NEVER A VERY DESIRABLE to do.  (ya see, you guys I am concerned about
performance sometime.)

If I understand you correctly, you are redisplaying a screen after   
changing
some data in your program and the changes are not reflected on screen.

The problem is that the ERRMSG keyword also implies a PUTRETAIN keyword.
Therefor the input fields are not disturbed.  Depending upon you
application, you may be able to get around this problem with the   
following
sequuence:
   WRITE RCDFMT
   SETON ERRMSG Indicators
   EXFMT RCDFMT

This will cause the fields to be updated on the screen.
