Hi ..
I have a screen where i have field called state and employee id no.
If user enters state and emp-id then data for respective user is displayed and he can edit only certain fields on the screen. So i made those fields unprotected.

Now if user has changed 1 fields (To which he is allowed to edit) and presses Update I am loosing all other fields of the screen. when see the values I have values in only those fields which were unprotected. That means all the protected field values are gone.

Can anyone please answer this?

Please let me know if you need other information for this.

if they were protected, that means they were not changed. Which means you knew what the values were the last time you sent the map. you should have saved these values in your dfhcommarea.

Are you doing a send map with ERASE or DATAONLY.???

before you issue exec cics send map,

move attributes to your fields that contain fset (mdt)

X'C1' is unprot,norm,fset attribute (character A)

fset will cause the fields to be returned to your program , even when user does not
rekey. You will still need to check for field contents, just in case the user hits erase eof key.

MOVE 'A' TO MAP-FIELD-NAMEA

Yea, MDT...FWIW, BMS working the way you want it has always (at least to me) been a bit of a "black art"..... Laughing
