Can you use DSPART(PR) to prevent the user from changing a field?

Subject: update subfile rows

I'm updating an existing subfile and related program.

The program displays a list of locations for which a month-end file must be created.

As the user selects a row/location from the subfile, I update the subfile to show the month-end file that was created.
So far, this much works.

What I want now is to have subfile rows display where the required file has been created, but prevent the user from updating rows with a file name.

So far the only idea I've come up with is to use "Inhibit Keyboard Entry (I)" on the one updatable subfile field, but I've never used this and want to prevent a "round trip" between program and user - so I'm looking for a way to ensure the user cannot "touch" any subfile rows with a file name ?
