     Chris,
     
     Change the data type of the fields from S to Y.  When you use the S 
(Signed 
     shift) data type, you cannot use editing keywords.

I had a small application that was written by a outside consultant, and written 
with a reference file. We don't want to use the reference file, so I went in and
 changed all the references, but in my display files I have two fields giving 
me 
 problems.  I get a error on the edtcde and edtword that worked when the field w
as referenced, but now it wont take them.  Below is a example the lines with XXX
X are the error lines.   Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreci
ated.
     
Thanks Chris.
