If you are about to change the value of a field by keying the field ID #  in
CHANGEMODE, i.e there is no REQUEST, ACCEPT or PROMPT statement, is there
any way to tell the user what to enter in that field without having to use ?
or ??

If I use, PROCEDURE INPUT, PROCEDURE EDIT, PROCEDURE PROCESS, data has to be
entered in the field
before the INFO statement can take effect. PROCEDURE DESIGNER ## will only
work on the first field.

Here is a example of what I have:

CLUSTER OCCURS WITH FILE-A

FIELD A
FIELD B ID SAME
FIELD C ID SAME
CLUSTER

PROCEDURE INPUT (or EDIT, or PROCESS) B
BEGIN
   INFO "ENTER  [F]... ..."
END
