Re: Invisible Window

I'm not familiar with using a dummy record or with the ASSUME keyword.

The iSeries Help for ASSUME states,
"It causes the system to assume that this record appears on the display when 
the file is opened.  Use this keyword to receive data that a previous 
program has left on the display".  I'm not sure I understand how this will 
help.

And the Help for KEEP states,
"It causes the system to leave the record you are designing on the display 
after the file has been closed".

Is this one of those situations where I should just try it without asking 
too many questions?  (Like Hannibal Smith - his plans don't work right, they 
just work.)
