Hi Sharon -

Any time you are using ERRMSG or ERRMSGID (and possibly SFLMSG or SFLMSGID
as well), other processing is ignored.  As a result, other changes to the
display will not take effect.
See
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v4r4/ic2924/info/db2/rbafpmst3
02.htm

If you do a manual reverse image or blink or whatever, you need to WRITE the
display with the ERRMSG/ERRMSGID indicators off, then EXFMT the display with
the ERRMSG/ERRMSGID indicators on.
