RE: Invalid subfile options and SFLMSG -- RPG400-L

Booth,

I would also either Reverse Image or Highlight your selection field if 
*IN70 is *ON.  This way, your User will see all records in error.


HTH,

Nick

Booth - I see your point where you say using *in70 to set the message to
display, and I've had this problem happen to me before.
Use what has been suggested by myself and a few other people.

RPG code:
  * Loop for all SFL records, validate that SFL Options are valid.
C                   for       wNdx = 1 to SF1RECS
C     wNdx          chain(e)  SFL1
C                   if        %found
C                   eval      *in70 = *off            <-------- inserted

line

C                   select
C                   when      SF1OPT = ' '
C                   when      SF1OPT = '5'
  * Every other option invalid.
C                   other
C                   eval      *in70 = *on
C                   eval      *in90 = *on
C 
C                   endsl

                update    SFL1       <------- move out side of select

C                   endif
C                   endfor

can you show us some of your code where you read update the indicator

and

update the subfile, maybe someone can spot the problem?

Booth,

Did you update the subfile record after you turned *off the indicator?

Re: Invalid subfile options and SFLMSG






Why wouldn't the indicator be shut off when the message displays?  The
book says it will.

But, beyond that, I tried what you suggest and that made no

difference.

I assume your *in70 is the error indicator.

When you loop thru your subfile records, you need to turn off *in70

when


you initially read it in.

Invalid subfile options and SFLMSG

Time to get a tad smarter.  Not necessarily smart, just smarter than

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

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.
