Hi,

I am facing a problem in a program.


There is a subfile with a set of order numbers,
When i select a particular order number, it goes to a different program , and shows some details for that order. The screen in this program is a normal display screen(not a subfile). A few calculations are done and the record format is written to the screen(not EXFMT). Then a few more calculations are done and the same record format is EXFMT on the screen. Now i have added a new field on this screen.
When I select a particular record on the subfile screen(program1), and move to the second screen, i change the value of this new field and update it by pressing <F5>.
Now the program returns back to the first screen after pressing <F5>. when i select a different order number, the value of the field still remains the same(the value changed for the previous order number is reflected for all the order numbers on the screen but not in the databse), but during debug, before the screen is EXFMT, the value is the actual value moved from the database file, but displayed value is the value entered the first time.
I guess this has got something to do with the PUTOVR or OVRDTA keyword(OVRDTA keyword has been used for this field).
Any suggestions would really be of great help.

Thanks in advance

Derek
