Only if the user does not edit that field.. If the user edits the field 
the MDT is set for you.

Right now I am trying to get underlinded fields to work - my first field 
starts underlining but it never stops to the end of the screen
---------------------------------------<unsnip>---------------------------
You need to do a START FIELD with appropriate attributes, followed by a 
REPEAT-TO-ADDRESS followed by your underlining character. And make sure 
you follow the command format exactly. RTA, two-byte address, character 
to be repeated.

If you're interested, I can share a pair of simple TPUT/TGET subroutines 
that are written in Assembler, designed for call from high-level 
language code.

Oh and is '[' Square bracket not a mainframe character?  when I try to 
place one in RPF I get a U with an accent of some sort.
--------------------------------------<unsnip>----------------------------------
Square brackets are not part of the EBCDIC character set; square 
brackets and braces are not part of the 3270 character set.
