force a FIND?

[Joe Boyle]

try adding 'refresh' to the field statement on the parent screen.
Also, is the record passed to the lower screen or is the record retrieved
locally ?

Regards, Joe.

OpenVMS 7.3  PH 7.10.G1

We have an old screen that works this way:

The PRIMARY file in the main screen is XYZ.
The user has the option of calling another screen.
If the user goes to the subscreen, file XYZ is a DESIGNER file in that
screen and an XYZ field is updated.

But when the return is made to the original calling screen, the original
record is still displayed without the updated field.

To be sure, the screen designer displays a message telling the user that
data has changed and to perform a(nother) FIND to see the updated data.

Is there a way to perform this FIND for the user so that when the RETURN is
made, the updated data is displayed on the screen without user intervention?
