Re: Display file puzzlement

[John McKee <jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks everyone for the help.  I was trying to come up with what I had 
done from
memory last night.  Not as handy as being in front of the screen.  I now have
PUTOVR at the record level, conditioned by an indicator.  At the field 
level, I
have OVRATR and DSPATR, also conditioned by an indicator.  When I tested a few
minutes ago, there was no difference.  It was only when I commented out the
ERRMSG that the DSPATR worked.  I am not so sure I like how ERRMSG works
anyway, since it locks the keyboard and only one error is shown.
