I have a display file with mandatory fields. Is there anyway
that i can highlight those fields to bring attention to the
user? The same behavior that AS400 makes when we attempt to
execute a command without completing all the required
parameters.

Note: I have used DSPATR(HI) or DPSATR(RI) and they have
different behaviors.
Thanks.
