Error Message display in Table Maint. View without Closing

[Former Member]

I have logic in a table event that enforces some parameters on entries in a table maintenance view. For example, two fields cannot be equal. I have the logic for this working, however I am not sure the best approach to display a message to the user and FORCE them to change before continue. If i use say i001 or w001 for info or warning, it will properly display the message, but still save the record. If i use say e001, it will stop the save, but kick the user back out of the maint. screen. Any ideas?

You can try using the edition DISPLAY LIKE 'E' after the mesage raise.

I get "The selected function is not supported" when i run. Compiles fine though.

Update:

I can get the error to display then, but it still saves the record.

after the information message use "EXIT" statement. it will come out without saving..

If i use

MESSAGE ... blah...

EXIT.

It still saves.

try using some statements like "leave to screen 0"

leave screen... etc..
