Yes. What is nagging in my brain is that when I type 131313 and have an error I expect the field to be redisplayed exactly as I typed it, not as 13/13/13.

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?
