It sounds more to me like you need something like this...
;(STATUS is a one byte field - increased to 8 for display purposes)...
field STATUS of EMPLOYEES id 07 label "Status" UPSHIFT size 8 &
default "A" &
values "" caption "NoChange", &
"A" caption "Active", &
"I" caption "Inactive", &
"O" caption "Out" &
selectbox from 13,10 to 18,19 on data
;Note...the "nochange" value is a null, allowing you to skip input,
;and retain the existing value rather than defaulting to the first
;one every time you access this field.
;Then to ensure the final display is right...
procedure output STATUS of EMPLOYEES
begin
if fieldtext = "A"
then let fieldtext = "Active"
if fieldtext = "I"
then let fieldtext = "Inactive"
if fieldtext = "O"
then let fieldtext = "Out"
end

Subject: Displaying the 'current processing mode' in Quick screens
Hi fellow listers,
Has anybody out there used the CHANGEMODE/CORRECTMODE/ENTRYMODE/FINDMODE
conditions to control the value of a string that is displayed on the screen.
I'm trying to replace the single character mode field with a text string
that is more meaningful to our users. We have a large turnover of
temporary/casual staff and some of them are a bit short on ... well you know
what I mean ;)
regards,
