Hi Douglas Can I ask why you want to validate each field at a time? My personal choice would be to validate the whole screen once the user pressed Enter and display all error messages in a MSGSFL, highlighting any fields in error. However, if you want to use the CHECK(ER) to validate each field as it is entered, then you can define the file information data structure for the workstation device and pick up the cursor position from there. Using that you can then determine within your program where to position the cursor to. I'm sorry I can't provide an example for you, my 400 is currently powered down although I'm sure you can find examples in the archives by searching for INFDS. All the best and a Happy New Year Jonathan www.astradyne-uk.com -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Douglas W.

The user then enters the data, date, driver no, load no, description, gl code, amount. I need to verify some of the data to make sure that it is correct, IE: GL Account Code. so I have set the CHECK(ER) on the DGLACTNO so that it returns control to the program and verifies the number the user entered. The problem is I need to reposition the cursosr so that it will continue with the next line and wait for more input. Here is the RPG code I have written thus far: C MOVE *DATE MYDATE C MOVE MYDATE DDATE C DOU *IN12 = *ON C EXFMT PRTRAENTRY * VERIFY GL ACCOUNT CODE C DGLACTNO CHAIN CHTACTS C IF NOT %FOUND C EVAL *IN71 = *ON C ELSE C EVAL DGLACTNO = DGLACTNO C ENDIF C ENDDO C EVAL *INLR = *ON C RETURN Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because I will need to add in verification for the load number and driver number before the program is complete. -- This is the RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: RPG400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: RPG400-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l.
