The display of messages using SFLMSG and SFLMSGID is similar to the display of messages by the OS/400 program when field validation errors are detected. An important difference from ERRMSG and ERRMSGID is that the program, and not the OS/400 program, must position the cursor to the appropriate field within the subfile, reverse the image of that field within the subfile, and also optionally reverse the image of more than one field at a time. On the 5250 work station, blinking cursor and message highlighting are allowed.
