Re: ERRMSG Problem

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.

 

No, CMDKY1 in fact overlays line 24, which is where the MSGLOC is.  If my problem is a combination of the output field on line 22, and the CMDKY1 format on lines 22-24, then I may be stuck.  This particular display has very little real estate left to play with.  Thanks for all replies.

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
