RE: Read on Display file

[Winchester Terry <terry.winchester@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Shiva,

Do you have a "dummy" record with the RESUME keyword in
your display file?

                R DUMMY
                            ASSUME
                       24 79' '

This is important when you have an overlapping window
on your display and you want it to behave nicely :)

Terry
