Re: Subfile with prompt item

Should also ask if the fields were created as input only or input/output.
If input only, then the field values will not be redisplayed after
returning from the prompt program no matter the if CA(04) or CF(04) is
specified.

Terri, in your display file definition, when adding the F4, did you code
it as CA(04) or CF(04)?
If CA(04), then all input fields will be blank.
If CF(04), input fields will have the values you keyed in.

Hi,
I will be the first to admit I am a novice with subfiles. I

have

an existing maintenance program that uses EXFMT to display the screen.

I

made one of the fields promptable. I put a '+' after the field and

added

F4. This calls another program that displays a window the user can

select

from. That is working fine. The problem is that if I fill in any other
fields then hit F4 to prompt, the other fields are blank. I put a
breakpoint immediately after the EXFMT and figured out it is because I
never hit the enter key. How can I retain the other entered values,

but

still prompt?

Works correctly Works wrong
EXFMT EXFMT
Enter type field Enter Type
Press enter Prompt shipper
Type field = 'F' Type field = blank

199 C EXFMT SCR001
200 C*
201 C IF *INKD = *ON
202 C EXSR PmtCar
203 C ENDIF
