RE: Field not getting cleared while Displaying Error Message on Screen

Excellent point Alan,
I know we ran into some of the same issues and decided to just add a blank
field for error messaging; was far easier and faster to handle.

Derek - the problem that you are seeing is due to the fact that you are
using ERRMSG.
See the IBM manual on the definition and inner workings of ERRMSG.
We had the same problem. Used debug and saw that a particular field was in
fact changing, but the DDS screen did NOT reflect that change.
We ended up changing ERRMSG to subfile error messaging.

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

Derek
