Yes.  A file that demonstrates the problem is as simple as:

     A          R TESTDFUR
     A            FIELDA         1A

[...]

I just meant fields where I have to enter something in every
position, like the file above.  If I use UPDDTA on this
file, then enter a character in FIELDA, the FER indicator
turns on.  Then when I press Field Exit, the field gets
cleared.  It should be left as is.
