Well, this is something I wrote for me (mini project management system), 
so the end-user doesn't complain too much! ;-)  If it were in production, 
I'd have to say that it wouldn't be acceptable; it's too close to having 
CHECK(ME) fields.

I tried changing my CF03 to CA03, and I'm still forced to correct the date 
before I can leave the screen (I get the CPD406A message and the keybd 
locks.)  How are you managing to leave the screen with an incorrect date? 

The RNX0112 almost sounds like the RPG program is trying to update a 
record with the incorrect date.  I get RNQ0112 when I move an incorrect 
workstation date into a database date.  Is the program doing some 
processing when the user presses the Exit key?  Perhaps you can avoid the 
processing, or use TEST to test the date field for validity before moving 
it?
