Re: How to press the ENTER key automatically?

If I am understanding you correctly, I would:
- load the subfile,
- totally comment out the first display screen write/read or exfmt,
- run the validation subroutine against the subfile,
- and display only the second screen to the user.

The first, and only, screen would immediately present the user with the data and with any error messages.

Good afternoon:

I have this challenge:


1) Program KI100R calls KI101R (both with display files)

2) When program KI101R is called from KI100R, a subfile is displayed immediately with data in it, based on the parameters sent from KI100R.

3) After that is done, the user presses ENTER to validate the data on the screen (any data errors are displayed at this moment) and if everything is OK, then they press ENTER again to process the record.

4) Finally, program control returns to KI100R.


The new business requirement I have is to not to press ENTER on KI101R: they want the program to do it automatically, so these data validations (and any potential errors) can come up automatically. I can certainly try to modify program KI101R to be able to do this in a more elegant way but I have few challenges (due to my time constraints, as always):


a) It was done in Synon - for those who know it, you know that this type of system generated code will not make happy anybody due to its complexity

b) It uses 4 service programs, 3 data areas, 17 files and 22 programs - so I need to be VERY careful while trying to manipulate indicators, flags, etc. as Synon normally does.

So, based on that, I have reviewed CHECK(ER) but there are few comments about it, that I have found so far and I am looking for more insights.

With this scenario: what kind of recommendations or strategies you suggest in this case? Your help is highly appreciated, like always.

Very best regards,
