Check Display for Changed Fields

[Guest.Visitor]

This I think you can do in a simple way. Say in the Calculate tax routine you can have another routine to check whether the the fields have been changed. As soon as the screen in displayed (Initially) you can move the old values to temp work fields and this can be cheked aganist the new ones as soon as the tax is calcuated. Then you can proceed accordingly. Arun.

How can I check a Display for Changed fields beside having to move each field into another hold field and then check the hold field against the fields on the screen, I have a screen full of fields. They press ENTER to calculate taxes, then after calculating the taxes I give them a Function Key to print the receipt. I want to be able to check the fields before they press the Function Key to make sure no fields have been changed after the Calculation takes place. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Danny

Danny, you can define the CHANGE DDS key word on the DSPF, at record format or field level. The moment a user types a value into the field the indicator, linked to this key word, will be turned on the next time that user presses Enter or a function key. Hope this may help. Regards, Carel Teijgeler
