Re: ERRSFL with more than one message per field.

Booth,
  By definition, ERRMSG is limited to 1 per field.
  You can have multiple ERRMSG keywords for a field, but only the LAST 
condition that is true will set the message.
  ERRSFL can not help with this.

Color me surprised today. Even after I read the dds manual i am uncertain
about this and want to run it past people. 

I have a screen with an input/output field. There can be five different
errors occurring on this field, and they are not mutually exclusive. A user
could really get it wrong and have four of the errors at once. 

Evidently ERRSFL will only show the first error for the field? There won't
be a subfile of all the errors?
