Re: Display file field

[Michael Lange <midrangemfl@xxxxxxxxx>]

User comes from a subfile screen in this display file and then selects an
order which takes them to the record format where the window would popup.

The only way to leave this record display is to F10 update otherwise it
just displays the same screen again but the new selected message doesn't
get dropped into the display field.

There is no error message created.
