Re: MDT Issue

Hi Paul

IMO the MDT flag is not on because the data in the field did not change from zero, so it is working as expected.
Because the screen is loaded from a file the file and screen data are both zero, nothing has been modified.
Not sure why you use MDT at all if you need ALL fields to be set MDT on, you may as well not bother with MTD checking.

I have an issue with a display file using Modified Data Tags. It is on a standard record screen, not a subfile. Each field in a specific column has the MDT attribute set to Y. I have an F-key process that loads the fields in this column from a file. The problem is when the field value is zero in the file, the MDT flag is not turned on when the field is updated with a zero. Is there a way to force the MDT flag when this automated process loads the field values?

TIA,
Paul
