Have Pro-iv changed the way that a screen decides whether to use @EFUNCT (Error link) or @LFUNCT (Exit link)in version 4.6 ??
I'm getting halfway down the input fields of a 1-time Add screen and then hitting the cancel key ('/'). This throws the cursor back to the key field and clears the screen ready to try again - OK so far - usual Pro-iv stuff.
I then get right through my input fields and hit return on the last field. Under good old version 4.0 my one-time screen would complete and go to @LFUNCT (An update say).
But 4.6 seems to think that because a 'cancel' key has been involved somewhere in the cycle, it's going to go to @EFUNCT instead.
A user could find themselves back at a menu with an important update entirely mised !
I'll investigate further and post my findings, but meantime is anyone ahead of the game here ?
(We're running AIX 4.3.3 (RS6000 H70) 4.6 r107 by the way)

Are you using GUI objects? We found a similar fault whereby if you had a GUI object, say an ICON in your format header and assigned a function key value to this ICON (FNkey 33), then when you logically exited the function, the FNkey logic was performed (which in our case exited the function). Our work around was to make sure that the first ICON referenced in the format header was displayed somewhere where nothing else was displayed (column 80, line 1), and assigned a FNkey value of -1 to it. This seemed to cure the problem.
