Hi Booth
I believe what you want to do IS possible.
It would have to be a load-all subfile
You would need to load ALL the data and then just PRIOR to the exfmt, read
ALL the subfile records (by rrn) from beginning to end to accumulate column
II, storing this value in the control record.
Then perform this routine AGAIN AFTER the EXFMT to re-accumulate column 2.
If this is different than the one before, loop back to the EXFMT with the
SFLMSG

I realize that the program will be a little more complicated than that, but
that's the basic logic

I believe what I want to do is not possible however I am wrong so often
I decided to ask here.

I have a subfile with two editable columns.
I wish to validate that each code in column I is valid.
I wish to total the numeric values in column II and display the total of
column II in a field on the Control Record

If the user keys an invalid code in column I _and_ changes values in
column II I would like to issue a SFLMSG, highlight the erroneous field,
_and_ change the column II total on the Control Record.

Reasonably possible?
