The keyword you need is OVERLAY....but....you may also need CLRL(*no) if your second screen overlays any attribute byte on the original screen.
I.E.
 
If you write a header format and then exfmt a SFL(SFLCTL) screen you would only use OVERLAY.
If you wanted a screen in the middle of a previous full display you would need both OVERLAY and CLRL(*NO).
 
I do not believe you need to use a dummy blank screen or the ASSUME keyword to achieve this.
 
Hope this helps.
