But alas, as with 90% of the display files generated 
around here, there's no direct connection between the 
display file and ANY database file. :-(

Besides, who needs to generate display files off of 
physical files when you have QuestView at your disposal 
(and are the company that developed the thing)?  ;-D

I couldn't find anything, either (you'd think there would 
be something similar to a feature in command definitions 
that does more-or-less what I wanted), and ended up biting 
the proverbial bullet, and coding the validation within 
the application, with the EXFMT and the validation in a 
do-until loop. Seems to work OK, but I haven't given it a 
whole lot of exercise yet.
