Re: SUBFTR01 and SUBFTR02 - OVERLAY vs CLRL and inserting blanks

[Simon Coulter <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why are you specifying CLRL(*NO) on both footers? Surely the footers  
do not share character positions with other active formats? Surely  
they share space only with each other?

Without CLRL(*NO) I expect you won't need the ERASE keyword either,  
thus simplifying the DDS.

MSGSUBC should clear the screen. Then either,
	SUBFTR01 overlays
	SUBCTL01 overlays
or
	SUBFTR02 overlays
	SUBCTL02 overlays

It appears that these formats are always used as matched pairs so  
there should never be bleed-through from previous formats once CLRL 
(*NO) is removed. Without CLRL(*NO) you shouldn't need the ERASE  
keyword. You shouldn't need that anyway because the WRITE of MSGSUBC  
should have cleared the screen thus removing all active formats.  
Comprenez-vous?

Simon Coulter.
