RE: ERRMSG doesn't display

Are you using an indicator data structure for the display file? If so,
you'll need to define position 42.

Subject: ERRMSG doesn't display

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?
