Hi Guys ,
When one of the input data on the screen is wrong I want to display a warning message -- say ,id not numeric -- hit enter to continue .
Once the user hits enter I want the program to run from the next sequential instruction in the program.can you guys help me with the logic.Any piece of code would be helpful.

a-100-edit-input section

if a-id not numeric
...
end-if

Vijay,
Aren't you tacitly assuming that in the second attempt, the user would enter valid data? What if the second entry is invalid again? So, rather than going to "next sequential instruction", I suggest, you let the program follow it's natural course of validation, etc.

I've a date field on the screen.If the users enter a date prior to current date -- I should display a warning message (--Date prior to current date - Press enter to continue).To display the message I'm using a standard module in the shop and I could display the message.Now,when I hit enter key again I don't want the program to redisplay this message.I need to control the program to let this go and continue with the next steps.How can I do this kind of controlling in CICS ?

Any Code would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
VIjay

Is your program coded the pseudoconversational way or the conversational way?
