Re: Question regarding SDA WINDOWS clearing the screen when

[pcunnane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Paul Cunnane)]

[Here's the situation. I have just recently started using the window feature 
in SDA and love it. My only problem is that if I have a CL program for a menu 
and I call an RPG or even another CL program to control the features of the 
window it clears the screen.
     
Does anyone know how to fix this so it always "overlays" the menu?  At this 
time I have rigged it so the RPG program controlling the window does a WRITE 
for the menu display and an EXFMT for the window display.  I hate doing such 
a thing and do not want to continue "wasting" resources if there is a better 
way.]
     
     Bill,
     
     Is the window in a separate display file?  If so, have you created a 
     dummy record format with the ASSUME keyword?  This is required to 
     allow a window to overlay a screen in another display file.
