RE: DSPART(MDT)

[Mike Barton <Mike.Barton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

       The times I have used this is when using VALUES on
a display file field.

The validity checking on a field where VALUES is set only
happens if the field is modified.
If the value is invalid on displaying the screen with the field,
the user can bypass the VALUES checking.

Seting DSPATR(MDT) has the effect of setting the field as
mdified therby enforcing the checking of VALUES.

There may be other reasons/examples of the use of this keyword.
