You can use the VALUES  DDS keyword that will force the edit at the DSPF level, 
or you can add an ERRMSG keyword with a detail message conditioned by an 
indicator
Another option is to use the CHKMSGID keyword which specifies a message id to 
be displayed on a validity check failure.  .

I have a display file with a field that I have set the FE to on and it

the user enters say a 0, I need it to display an error message so the user 
knows they need to correct it.

I thought there was a way to do this, but for the life of me I have not been 
able to find it. It appears that I need to turn on an indicator which is 
not a problem but within the DDS how do I attach that to a message to 
display on line 24?
