This was not the main concern, but you could just use the VALUES clause
on the DDS and not need the validation routine.

Invalid subfile options and SFLMSG

Time to get a tad smarter.  Not necessarily smart, just smarter than I 
am this morning.

OK, here's the scenario:  A subfile with a subfile option field so one 
can key in a '2' to edit, '4' to delete, '5' to view, etc.  I've added a

validity checking subroutine to be sure the user keyed in a valid value 
('2','4', '5' for instance).  I do a "for" loop and test each subfile 
record. If the option does not validate then I turn on *in70 and update 
the subfile before continuing the loop.  After the "for" loop there is 
no further processing, and the screen is exfmt'd again.

Everything works fine so far as I can see, excepting one problem that I 
can not figure out how to solve.

In testing, if I key several invalid options and press enter, it returns

the error message and places the cursor on the first error of the 
subfile.  Fine so far.  Now, if I fix the first invalid option but none 
of the others, and then enter, the cursor goes to the corrected field 
and still shows as an error.
