Re: Checking the Status of Fields in a DSPF

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
