monreas1 field being RI?
Working as designed and documented. When ERRMSG or ERRMSGID is in
effect the system sends only the text and attributes of the error
message. It does not send anything else to the display. To accomplish
this the system uses the keywords PUTOVR/OVRATR/OVRDTA under the
covers. Therefore when ERRMSG or ERRMSGID are active the only stuff
visible on the screen is what was there on the write immediately
before the write with ERMSG or ERRMSGID.
You can work around this behaviour by using a different indicator for
MONREAS1. Set this on in your program (but leave the ERRMSG indicator
off) and write to the display. Then turn off the MONREAS1 indicator
and turn on the ERRMSG indicator and write again.
You may also be able to add OVRATR (to change RI), and if MONREAS1
contains data not currently on the display then add OVRDTA (to change
text). Condition these with indicator 31. I would expect them to take
effect by piggy-backing on the ERRMSG data stream. I'm not sure since
I can't recall designing a screen that had this requirement. Either
ERRMSG has been all I've needed or I do all the error handling
programmatically.
