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?
