You haven't got a replacement variable called /%fpolicy%/ in your html template, so your code is not updating anything.
Try
<input type="text" name="fpolicy" size="7" maxlength=7
onChange="submitform('Policy');" value="/%fpolicy%/">

Subject: [WEB400] data cleared after validation
I've just started working with CGIDEV2 and I have an input field that I
have to validate against a couple of iSeries files. This all works just
fine with the exception of the when I display an error message for the
field "fpolicy" is cleared. That is the reason I update back to that
html field, in hopes that would take care of it getting cleared.
Is there something I'm missing? Or is there another way I should be
doing this? I've scanned the archives and the web looking for clues on
what to do but I can't find anything that relates. I'm sure it's my own
ignorance but just don't see what I need to do to make this work.
Thanks and sorry for the noob question,
