Not Allowing Exit from Subscreen

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

How are you doing the "copying" part of your processing? If you've written a
bunch of designer code then you probably won't mind a little more! After you
copy the data into the new record, accept the missing fields and refuse to
the let the user skip those fields.

Subject: Not Allowing Exit from Subscreen


Does anyone know of a way to force the user to enter values in a field
before they are allowed to go back to the invoking screen?  I have a quick
screen where we allow the user to copy partial information from one record
to another, and we want to force them to enter the missing information
before they can exit.  I have an error that I raise in the EXIT procedure,
but it still goes back to the invoking screen.

The manual says that if an error occurs during the execution of the EXIT
procedure, QUICK backs up to the last ACCEPT or PROMPT verb.  It doesn't
seem to be behaving that way to me.  Any ideas out there?
