Error message not diplayed

[Deskin, Bob]

What format is WS-WRK-DATE. Ensure that it's large enough to hold 8 digits.
If there's a data conversion error in a procedure, you may be getting a beep
from that.

Fellow PowerHouse users,

I am working on a quick screen in PH 8.19.c2 and am experienceing an
unusual anomaly.  If a user enters incorrect data into a field, an error
message should show up stating why the entry is bad.  The default PH errors
are showing fine, but the error message I coded doesn't show up.  All I get
is a beep!  Can anyone help?  Below is the code I have in place.

Thanks,
Jeff
