ERRMSG Problem

["Buzz Fenner" <bfenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey All,

 

I posted this once and got only one response which did not resolve my problem, so I will try one more time.  I have a display file with a subfile.  The control record (SFCTL1) has several I/O fields with ERRMSG's tied to them.  The subfile (SFRCD1) has line items + prices.  Beneath SFRCD1 is a format (CMDKY1) that has one O only field (the total of the item prices) and F keys available to the user.  The records are displayed, input is edited.  The problem is, the ERRMSG keywords do not function as they should.  In fact, nothing happens.  CMDKY1 is aware of the errors because the F key for update does not toggle on.  If I comment-out the one O only field in the CMDKY1 format and run the program, the ERRMSG keywords work.  The code is very simple:

 

*in01            Doueq*ON

 

                    WriteCMDKY1

                    ExfmtSFLCTL

 

*in01            Ifne *ON

 

        Edit Input, etc.

 

Can anyone explain what is going on here and how can I force those ERRMSG's to work?  Keywords on SFLCT1 include OVERLAY & PUTOVR with OVRDTA's on the I/O fields.  The CMDKY1 format has no record-level keywords.

 

TIA
