I think earlier (as in S/38) documentation explained the relationship 
between ERRMSG, ERRMSGID, PUTOVR, etc. but I've known it for at least 12 
years.  The only reference I could find which hints at your problem is the 
following quote from the Restrictions and Notes section of the DDS manual 
under ERRMSG and ERRMSGID.

"For input or output capable fields, ERRMSG and ERRMSGID are in effect only 
if the record containing the field for which they are specified is already 
on the display."

Section 2.7.1.1 of the Application Display Programming manual also describes 
this behaviour.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
