Within a Data Form object in a SAS/AF FRAME entry, if you have CONTROL
ENTER or CONTROL ALWAYS specified in the data form's model SCL and set a
value for a column linked to a version 6 input field or text entry
widget using SCL statements in the MAIN section of the model SCL, the
new value may not display in the column. The value will display when
some column in the data form is modified and you press ENTER. The key
here is that while MAIN executes even though no column has been
modified, a value set in this section may not display in a column.

To circumvent the problem, link your column to a text entry control
or modify a column and press ENTER. If you are using the MAIN section
to provide a selection list of values, another circumvention would be
to add a control object next to the column and let clicking on the
control object provide the selection list. The control object is seen
as modified when you click on it so using it avoids this problem.

This is the same problem as reported SAS Note V6-AF-D296 if you are
using an input field or text entry widget.  However, the problem has
been corrected for a text entry control.
