Re: Is this possible and if so

You'll want to look at the CHECK(ER) keyword for your DDS.

Thanks,

I was wondering if this is possible and if so, if someone would point me in

the right direction.

I have a display file that a user uses to enter in motor vehicle citations,

accidents, etc.  There are three fields: a date of the violation field, the

state in which the violation occured and a violation code field which
accepts a numeric value between 01 and 99.  what I would like to do is have

the program display the corresponding description as soon as the user
enters
the code value, IE: they enter 01 and exit the field and a description
field
on the display file shows the description for that code.

Suggestions? Or is this something that is better handled via help files?
The problem I see with help files is constantly making changes as we enter
new code violation codes or delete ones no longer needed.

Suggestions?

Douglas
