Not Allowing Exit from Subscreen

[Terry Curran]

Why not check in the PREUPDATE that all the required fields have been
entered, then you could error and forces the user to enter the missing
fields.

You may also need a BACKOUT procedure to stop the user leaving the screen
without updating.

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?
