Re: ERRMSG Problem -- MIDRANGE-L




Try specifiying  MSGLOC(24)  and ERRSFL.   Messages are displayed using a
system-supplied error subfile.  Note if the message line overlaps a record
already displayed on the screen, the ERRSFL keyword is ignored.

Is the CMDKY1 format overlaying line 23?  Which is where the error message
should appear.  Play with it and see if this is what's happening.  Have Fun!
TGIF.

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
