125.0. "RFG/DEXT Distr Screen Error" by SHOTIM::COPUSER71 () Sun Dec 04 1988 12:18

    RFG & DEXT Distribution Screen error (?):
    
    Summary: If I make an error on the address line, then clear the
    resulting error message by typing a space, I'm presented with the
    next screen--before I've made any corrections.
    
    E.g.
    
    1) I type M for distr option, then decide to change my default Vmail
       address
    2) I space over the default and type return
    3) I get an error message "a value must be specified"
    4) I type a space to clear the error message so I can unlock by
       tty and fix the address
    5) Instead, I am presented with the List of Report/Extract Options
       screen.
    
    Assumption: when my selections are finally submitted--they will
    probably bomb on insufficient distribution info.
    
    Suggestion: do we need an error check modification so user is not
    released to next screen with out making the correction?

    If you make an error requesting how you would like your report/extract
    distributed, use PF3 to clear the field.  It is NOT necessary
    to clear a field -  you may simply type over it.
    
    I need to investigate why you are allowed to get to the next screen
    once an error message has been displayed.
