Ah!  That's a different problem.  
 
Write a *BEFORE trigger program on the file.  Let the trigger program pop up
the window if the field is invalid.  Keep popping it up til the user gets it
right.   Then all of your programs will be fixed at one time, and all your
new programs never have to deal with the issue.
 
Also, from experience, you will want a mask of asterisks to mask all but the
last 4 digits when the window is used as a view-only window.

I think the CHECK(ER) will work for now, along with the RTNCSRLOC keyword.
 
What I am trying do is pop the window after the user has entered the charge
card type. This pop up will show the format the card type is to be in and
allow them to enter in the values.........pressing enter will populate the
card number into the field after the card type field. We have users just
entering in the card number into an alphanumeric field, they sometimes are
short or long on a number, this causing our credit department delays in
getting the payment processed.
