USING THE PROTECT DISPLAY ATTRIBUTE

[rstitzel]

I have a screen that I allow the user to input data. Once I've done all my error checking I want to redisplay the screen but PROTECT fields so the user can no longer enter data in my input fields.

On the input fields I want to PROTECT I've given them a DSPATR(PR)attribute and conditioned it with indicator 37.

In my program I turnon indicator 37 and redisplay the screen using EXFMT. But I can still key data into those PROTECTED fields.

Does anyone know what I'm may be doing wrong?

Thank you.

Make sure you don't have the SETOF(37) DDS statement in your display file.
