Re: ERRMSG doesn't display

Hi Booth
by any chance is there another ERRMSG being displayed?
Once you set one ERRMSG index on, the rest after that do not matter.

This has me stumped. I have this code:

S1DATE 6Y 0 10 50EDTCDE(Y)
42 ERRMSG('Date is invalid ' 42)

I key 131313 into the field and and press Enter. My validation routine
tests the field, finds it in error, and turns on *in42. I then EXFMT
the record again and expect to see the error message, but instead I see
the field as 13/13/13.

I ran debug and it shows *in42 as being on.

I believe I do this same thing routinely and never have a problem, so
obviously I am doing something differently but I can not imagine what.

Any ideas out there?
