Reporting Errors in QTP

A relatively simple question which I ought to know the answer to .....

If one codes

		request <whatever> on edit errors report (or on calculation errors
report, or both)

One gets what appears to be a record number reported, when an edit or
calculation
error occurs, together with the applicable error message.

Is there a way to get QTP to report a KEY of the offending record, so that one
might easily go to it interactively (either with an application or QUIZ or
whatever)
to examine it and/or make changes?

The specific problem is that we have a few COBOL programs that are able to
write
incorrectly formed dates in an IMAGE/SQL database.  In the PDL, the field
is defined
as a PowerHouse type DATE which means that QTP will hiccup when it hits one of
these illegal dates.  I'd like to be able to identify the specific record
where the error
occurs, naturally.

Cheers,
