<QUOTE>
I know the title looks a bit confusing. 

Let me explain to you what I'm intending to do now.



Recently, the end users requested the above item.

Let's say we have 3 fields now:

1) Field ABC.

2) Field DEF.

3) Field FF1.



The requirement now is that once

Field ABC is same as Field DEF,

a value must be input into Field FF1.



in other cases, Field FF1 is not REQUIRED.



My idea now is that once

the above condition is fulfilled,

I would like to change Field FF1's ENTRY TYPE to REQUIRED.

Is that possible with AREV 2.01?



or you guys have a better suggestion?



Thanks

what I meant here is that for other conditions,

Field FF1 input is not required.

<QUOTE>if change_type doesn't work in that version, I'd use a pre-save subroutine to do your comparison (it can also display any error messages and move the cursor to the missing field, as well as blank any out if that is also part of your requirement logic).

<QUOTE>In the Post Prompt process you can change the Type of a prompt.



requires Arev Common



You must determine the dimensioned position of the affected prompt in the W array (Arev 3.12 WC_W%).  The field position 18 is the Prompt Value Entry Type (Arev 3.12 MT_LCPOSITIONS ET$) which can be null for optional, "R" for required, "P" for protected.



Thus to Protect prompt number 19 from the Post Prompt:

W(19)=P"
