Re: Service Programs & Error Message Subfiles

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

This is actually a Midrange-L question, not an RPG question. In the 2nd
service program's display file, add a format like this:

    A            R DUMMY                ASSUME
    A                                1 2 ' '

That's all. You don't have to use it, it just has to be there. It tells the
system to not clear the screen when opening the display file.

HTH,
Peter Dow
