Re: Subfile with prompt item

Make sure you defined your function key using the CF04 keyword in the
display file and not CA04. CAxx indicates that no changed data is
transmitted back to the program. CFxx does transmit changed data.

Subfile with prompt item






Hi,
I will be the first to admit I am a novice with subfiles. I have
an existing maintenance program that uses EXFMT to display the screen. I
made one of the fields promptable. I put a '+' after the field and added
F4. This calls another program that displays a window the user can select
from. That is working fine. The problem is that if I fill in any other
fields then hit F4 to prompt, the other fields are blank. I put a
breakpoint immediately after the EXFMT and figured out it is because I
never hit the enter key. How can I retain the other entered values, but
still prompt?

Works correctly Works wrong
EXFMT EXFMT
Enter type field Enter Type
Press enter Prompt shipper
Type field = 'F' Type field = blank

199 C EXFMT SCR001
200 C*
201 C IF *INKD = *ON
202 C EXSR PmtCar
203 C ENDIF
