RE: Wrong data being displayed.

You are using RSTDSP(*YES)?

With out it, the OVRDTA would not take affect the 2nd time you enter program2.

Derek - it would help if you post some code. Any answer would be something
of a guess.

Hi,

I am facing a problem in a program.


There is a subfile with a set of order numbers,
When i select a particular order number, it goes to a different program ,

and shows some details for that order. The screen in this program is a
normal display screen(not a subfile). A few calculations are done and the

record format is written to the screen(not EXFMT). Then a few more
calculations are done and the same record format is EXFMT on the screen.

Now

i have added a new field on this screen.
When I select a particular record on the subfile screen(program1), and

move

to the second screen, i change the value of this new field and update it

by

pressing <F5>.
Now the program returns back to the first screen after pressing <F5>.

when i

select a different order number, the value of the field still remains the

same(the value changed for the previous order number is reflected for all

the order numbers on the screen but not in the databse), but during

debug,

before the screen is EXFMT, the value is the actual value moved from the
database file, but displayed value is the value entered the first time.
I guess this has got something to do with the PUTOVR or OVRDTA
keyword(OVRDTA keyword has been used for this field).
Any suggestions would really be of great help.

Thanks in advance

Derek
