RE: [COBOL400-L] Conditioned Field

["Muthathal_Ramasamy" <Muthathal_Ramasamy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Brad,

Here is one suggestion.
Hope it helps you.

You can condition the output only field (that displays "over limit" /
"under") using the same indicator 53 like this.

That is, in the display file,
 53              3 20'OVER LIMIT'
N53              3 20'UNDER'

This is one simple solution.

And when you trigger the output error message in the COBOL code, 
Say your input field value > MAX-VALUE,

You can use like this,

IF INPUT-VALUE > MAX-VAL
   MOVE B"1" TO IND53
ELSE
   MOVE B"0" To IND53
END-IF

Thanks,

Subject: [COBOL400-L] Conditioned Field

I have a screen with an IO field and another output only field.
 
If the user types a value over a certain limit into the IO field, I set
an indicator 53 in the COBOL on and move a message to the output only
field saying "over limit".
 
On my screen I have an error message on the IO field for indicator 53.  
 
What I want to happen is that the error message triggers AND the "over
limit" shows in the output only field.
 
What actually happens is the error message gets triggered but the output
only field shows a previous value of "under" even though when I display
the value of that field just before the write to the screen the value is
indeed "over limit".
 
What would be causing this?
 
Thanks.
 
Brad
