Re-prompt code (parameter entry 15)

If the user enters data that is not valid and a re-prompt is necessary, this code identifies which field on the logon panel is in error.

On entry to the exit, this field indicates the reason for the prompt. A zero indicates that the prompting was for initial information. Other re-prompt codes are shown in Table 1.

You can set this code to indicate to the logon processor a field is in error. You must also set the re-prompt control switch. The logon processor will re-prompt the user for the specified field.

When the logon processor re-prompts the user for data, the field in error is highlighted. All fields except the highlighted field are locked and only the highlighted field can be changed.

The logon processor displays the appropriate error message for the field in error. If the code indicates a re-prompt for an installation-defined field, exit IKJEFLN2 can specify a message in parameter entry 19 or 20 that is displayed on the re-prompt.
