Hi,

I am working on display of customized error handling for the foc errors. I am able to handle the errors that populates with respect fields or no data senarios.
But i am not able to display a custoimized message for " (FOC295) A VALUE IS MISSING FOR: &SEATS". Could someone help me with this

Example:
-*-SET &SEATS= 2;
-SET &ECHO = ALL;

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
CAR
WHERE SEATS EQ &SEATS
END

-IF &FOCERRNUM NE 0 THEN GOTO LBL_NODATA ELSE GOTO CONT;

-LBL_NODATA
-INCLUDE ERROR_PAGE
-CONT
-EXIT

I am un able to display the cutomized error message for missing parameter value.

There are probably more elegant ways of doing this, but you could try something like:

-DEFAULT &SEATS = '';
...
-IF &SEATS EQ ''  THEN GOTO NO_SEATS ELSE GOTO GOT_SEATS;
-NO_SEATS
-TYPE Seats are missing
-EXIT
-GOT_SEATS;
...

You can also test for the existence of the variable:

-IF &VAR1.EXISTS EQ 0 GOTO ERR1 ELSE GOTO GOOD;

quote:

.EXIST tests for the presence of a value. If a value is not present, a zero (0) is passed to the expression. Otherwise, a non-zero value is passed.

Thank you so much it worked !!

Pri, I would strongly suggest that you use -RUN before any test of &FOCERRNUM. This is because of the order of evaulation of Dialog Manager and FOCUS code.
