Re: Checking the Status of Fields in a DSPF

You need to redisplay the record format. But, since a 5250 device is block
mode rather than character mode, you don't know that they entered new values
until they press a key that transmits the data stream to the CPU. You can do
that with DDS keywords - create a field that causes an automatic record
advance when the field is filled or exited.

Hi All,



Can someone tell me if there is an easy way to update a change on a
display file?  In my display file I have three fields.  The first field
has a master number, and the other two fields are user-defined.  When I
change the values in Field two or three, I would like field one to be
automatically updated.



For example:



Field 1: 45

Field 2: 0

Field 3: 0



I change field two to 30.  The screen should now show:



Field 1: 15

Field 2: 30

Field 3: 0



I change field three to 5.  The screen would show:



Field 1: 10

Field 2: 30

Field 3: 5



Etc..



I guess in C/VB terms I'd be looking for an OnChange event to fire when
the fields change.



Thanks!


Brian.
