Subject:      Is it possible in Nomad to do the following?

    At the present time I have the variables defined like the following
in the schema.

    item event_code as a4;
    define event_type as a15
           expr=event_code decode(
                'deli' = 'delivery/set-up',
                'pick' = 'pick-up',
                'rece' = 'reception',
                ....
                else = 'invalid choice');

    We are using an input screen and would like to have the user enter
code and have it immediately translated or decoded to its long form
and display in the same spot on the screen.

Can this be done in Nomad? Any help would be appreciated.

thanks.
