This is one of those easy say than done thing.  CHECK(ER) is essentially equal 
to user key something on the field and press enter.  Because of the enter key 
got activated, you program gets control back, which you could then populate the 
description field.  Easy right.  Well, it depends on the application.  You will 
need to do some tweaking to differential between regular enter and CHECK(ER) 
enter if your application is doing some editing or go to the next process when 
user press enter. 

Some of the tricks to do that are:
1) Using CHANGE keyword.
2) Save the before image of the field and compare to see if the value has been 
changed.
3) User cursor position.

You'll want to look at the CHECK(ER) keyword for your DDS.

Thanks,
