setting *BLANKS = to a field

[mohammad khan <mohammadakhan@xxxxxxxxx>]

first off, just wanted to
thank Booth & Buck for the
outstanding help they've 
given me. and the rest of
the list is cool too :)

anyway, i coded something
similar to this below:

DOW *IN03=*OFF
EXFMT SCREEN1
IF PROVINCE=*BLANKS
EXFMT SCREEN1
ENDIF
.
.
ENDDO

the point being i was
trying to keep PROVINCE
from being BLANK at all
b4 proceeding to screen2.
but this caused an error
that was along the lines
of incompatible types in
one of the two factor 
postions. but i thought
you could do this with
*blanks, set it us as
one of the conditions you
monitor a field with.

was there something
wrong with my code
involving the *BLANKS?

regards,

Mohammad
