I have been writing Quick since Quick came out in it's original beta =
release. I have run across this same problem at many of my clients over =
the years and I can tell you with confidence that the only way to =
accomplish what you are trying to do is using the technique that Allen =
described. Unfortunately the many requests from the user community have =
not swayed Cognos to allow an error in the exit procedure to take the =
user back to the action line (or anywhere else for that matter). I =
would go with the ghost screen and save your self a lot of time and =
aggravation.

Subject: Not Allowing Exit from Subscreen=20
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?
