I have a "user friendly" issue related to the RGF screens.
Unless I remember, I tend to hit a return after the last entry
but the system wants "enter". This causes some error messages
which leaves me wondering how far I have to back up to generate
the report again. Also, the system doesn't really give good
solid feedback when you have generated a report.
It would work better for me if we could do RETURNS all the way
down through the screen until all of the inputs were completed,
and then if you did any unnecessary returns , the system could
just tell you do an ENTER or ^Z to generate the report. Then
a message could come up saying that a report has been generated.

Hi Dennis,
An ENTER signifies 'finish action' and commits a request to the
database. If the reports worked the same way the screens do and committed
an inquiry after going past the last field, the user would have
no chance to correct errors. It would also take away the ability
to submit multiple requests with the use of INSERT RECORD HERE.
In the meantime, I will look into the possibility of sending a message
to the screen in RGF that a report has been submitted.
