Have recently upgraded from 4.6 to 5.5
Previously (in 4.6), while executing ARNE logic on a file and issuing a MSG together with a FLD statement returning control to the read field, control passed back to the FLD without processing any further files to be read on the same field. eg:

file1 - read fld 2, return fld 2, ARNE lgc 1
file 2 - read fld 2, return fld 3

logic 1 - test for condition, if error then issue message and return to fld 2

in this case, if the error condition was found in logic 1, file 2 was not read and control went back to fld 2.

Now (in 5.5), ALL files to be processed on the same field are read and processed, regardless of any FLD statements in ARNE logic. eg:

function set up as before, but in this case, if the error condition was found in logic 1, the error message was displayed ok, but file 2 was read and control carried on to fld 3.

Has anybody else encountered this problem?
Is this a problem with PRO-IV and if so, is there a cure for it? (other than amending all code)

Hi,

Try putting a DSEL in the logic before the FLD stattement,

Not sure if this is something that has changed, I dont have 4.6 up and running at the mo..

Rob,
thanks for the response.
I've tried that already and it does work, naturally.

However, I was hoping not to have to do this. I'm working on a fairly mature product and to have to amend the behaviour of potentially a large number of screens is not very attractive.
I can't find anything in release notes suggesting that there has been a change to the timing cycle, nor any reports of others encountering problems.

I'm just not sure whether I can go and badger PRO-IV about this issue.

Ah, see your point

Well, if ProIV wont change it, you could write a function to insert the DSEL into the logic automatically, for all your functions... If you have the bootstrap filedefs.
