The only other possibility I can think of is that the data structure definition is messing with it somehow. Maybe test it without that if you can.

We have screens coded just like you do except they don't have the DATSEP keyword which shouldn't matter as that defaults to '/'
if not specified. Do you only get the error if you key a blank in the field?

No

If you just Field Exit through the field does it also give the error?

Yes

I know I have sometimes had issues with this but we do have a lot of
programs that use it. Do you get the error on the EXFMT statement when it returns to the program or at a later step when you use the field?

When I try to use the field.

Can you look at the value coming back from the EXFMT in debug?

Yes, it is blank

I just noticed your field is I for Input, all of ours are either
B(oth) or O(utput). Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Started out using B.
