I'm sure there's some keyword on the DDS for Field Exit, or field change 
that returns control to the pgm to allow you to redisplay the screen.  Let 
me see if I can remember it, or someone out there know what I'm talking 
about.

Is this possible and if so






I was wondering if this is possible and if so, if someone would point me 
in 
the right direction.

I have a display file that a user uses to enter in motor vehicle 
citations, 
accidents, etc.  There are three fields: a date of the violation field, 
the 
state in which the violation occured and a violation code field which 
accepts a numeric value between 01 and 99.  what I would like to do is 
have 
the program display the corresponding description as soon as the user 
enters 
the code value, IE: they enter 01 and exit the field and a description 
field 
on the display file shows the description for that code.

Suggestions? Or is this something that is better handled via help files? 
The problem I see with help files is constantly making changes as we enter 

new code violation codes or delete ones no longer needed.

Suggestions?

Douglas
