[Bulk] The current data will be lost. Repeat the action if this is okay

[Thomson, Martyn EDUC:EX]

I am using a cluster so removed all LETs - no difference. No ITEM statements.
Do DEFAULT option on FIELD statements have the same effect?
Also added an INPUT proc to the temp field to trap it in debug. The predefs ALTEREDRECORD, NEWRECORD were both false.

I'll bet you have a let statement somewhere that you think is to a temp but
isn't or something similar.
I have also found this using an ITEM xxxx FINAL "something".
Normally this doesn't do anything to records status....but As part of a
cluster it WILL CHANGE THE RECORD STATUS.

You can't suppress any messages like that, they are there an integral part
of PH.

Hi Listers,
Have a screen where user retrieves existing records for
viewing/update/entry. They can enter "99" to go to a temporary field and
submit a batch job to process the records saved/viewed.
If they attempt to backout from the temp field get message "The current data
will be lost. Repeat the action if this is okay".

Why is this if they have not entered/changed any data or have already
committed changes? ALTEREDRECORD is FALSE.
Is this just an automatic warning whenever "^" is entered?
Is there any way to suppress this msg when it's not relevant?

TIA for any advice.
