RE: Prompting in a Program

We do the same thing, except we check for the field name. When F4 is
pressed, I do a Select group for each cursor field that can be prompted. The
OTHER clause sends an error message, "Prompt not available for this field.".
I don't like to use row and column because someone will change the screen
around without changing he row and column in the program, and all of a
sudden, the prompt doesn't work anymore. Plus I don't have to convert the
position from binary.

I also use the cursor row and column to return the cursor to the field
prompted. Optionally you could send it to the next field, for which you
would have to do a bunch of extra setup.
