I'm not clear where the redisplayed value does not change--popup window or underlying display file or subfile.

Popup programs can be tricky when called more than once when processing through a subfile. If you have RSTDSPLY(*YES) on the pop up, you may have to make sure the its display file is closed.

I have a display file which has multiple subfile, record formats.
I'm having an issue with one of the record formats where I'm displaying a
field and the user hits
F10 to update the record they are working on and it pops a window where
they need to select a value to drop in the field.
User hits enter and the program then goes back to main menu.

If the user goes back in and takes F6 it pops the same selection window in
case they need to change the value of the field but in this case the main
screen is redisplayed but the value of the field doesn't change.

I've tried to CLEAR the display field before the popup but that doesn't
seem to work.

The popup is a called program which returns the selected field value.

Out of ideas on how to change the display field value on an F6.
