Yes. My solution on keyboard terminals tends to be:

  KEY-NXTFLD trigger on the LAST field in a block where you want to switch   to the next block:         

	NEXT_FIELD;
	NEXT_BLOCK;

The Next_Field trigger forces ON-VALIDATE field where appropriate, ON-VALIDATE record where appropriate, and leaves context in the SAME block before moving to the next block.
