> Try looking into "File Redirection" in the Data Management guide.  File
> redirection allows you to override file types -- with limited/mixed
> results.  The program will also have to be recompiled while the override
> is in effect.  
> 
> Its been a while since I've played with this, but you should be able to
> override the display file to a database file and open it as: INPUT,
> OUTPUT, or INPUT/OUTPUT.
> 
> The IBM manual shows the override redirection combinations which are valid
> and some of the limitations.  You can look here...

> I have a large program which I have created an input file to provide
> the information usually entered onto the various screens.  The screen
> program includes subfiles from which information is assembled and
> processed.  The program runs without displaying any of the screens,
> but when I place the program in batch it tries to get a lock on a
> display (*REQUESTOR or a named device).  It bombs when the screen is
> not available.
> Is there any way to run this program with the screen in?
