Required Entry

[fflynn@newfoundlandpower.com]

By using a PANEL mode screen and Block Transfer control structures this
should work by coding INPUT procedures for each field on the screen... such
as:

Procedure Input Field1
Begin
       If 0=size(fieldtext)
       then error 'Field1 is a required field'
End

The Input procedure for all fields on a panel mode screen should be
executed... regardless of containing data or not.
