subfile / dummy + assume question

[itp]

I am calling a program that calls a program that pops up a window one or many times.

On first call, background remains. On second call called I lose background.

On called program, I have DUMMY record with ASSUME keyword on blank DSPATR(ND) field on location 1,2. DUMMY is never read or written in program.

Nothing special on calling program.

Am I missing something?

hi itp-
if there is a RMVWDW keyword on your display file ,please try to remove that keyword and see what happens...


also on the backgroun display format, please add USRRSTDSP and OVERLAY if you would...(ASSUME never worked for me atleast..)

Re: subfile / dummy + assume question

Yes I compiled with rstdsp(*yes).

I just noticed that called program indeed has
OVERLAY
RMVWDW

RMVWDW
Removes all existing windows on the display before this record
is displayed.

Sounds like this is causing my grief?

Im not sure what good a keyword is that the only way you can make the screen act as you would like you have to remove the keyword.

seems like it would have been a better idea not to create the keyword at all.

Does anyone use RMVWDW maybe on an indicator???
please tell us why...

thanks

it's caused the same problem for me as well...when i removed (or commented out) the RMVWDW ) keyword , the display remained fine without the background disappearing...
