We do something similar but to avoid that we use the same field for both the
"Record Updated" and the error message, in addition we generally use *in99
for displaying the message and after each EXFMT, that indicator is turned
off and the value of msg is set to blanks.

One thought comes to mind, maybe to reset #msg before the Exfmt.

Hi,
I have developed a new Maintenance Program. In this Program I have used
a
user defined field on the Main Screen #Msg to diaplsy the informational
messages as 'Record Added' 'Record Updated'.
This field is being cleared each time after the EXFMT of the record
fortmat.
Now when the user comes back after Updating a record, The messge is
diaplayed as 'Record Updated'. Now without Pressing Enter, if the user
enetrs invalid values and presses enter the error message is popped up(I
have used ERRMSG for the Error Messages), but the message 'Record
Updated'
still remains on the screen, though actually #Msg has been cleared and
its
value is Blank.
Any suggestions or help will be appreciated0.(I have attachecd Screen
Shots
and the code of the Main subroutine)
Thanks in Advance
