RE: Subfile Window Problem

Robert,
In the DDS for the window, do you have a format set up with the ASSUME
key word? Something like this:

A R ASSUME
A ASSUME
A OVERLAY
A 2 2' '
A DSPATR(ND)

subject: Subfile Window Problem

Greetings from sunny Florida.


I am developing an RPG application in which a user can list
file data in a subfile window and I allow the user to delete
any values no longer needed. I can delete any number of
records in the subfile window and the remaining records will
be read and redisplayed without a problem. My issue comes
upon the deletion of the last record in the file. As the
last record is being deleted and the window redisplayed, the
underlying base screen vanishes so all I have is a blank
screen with a window. I condition the header literals to
display `no records found` and everything else I have coded
seems consistent with what I have done in the past. I have
compiled with screen with RSTDSP *YES, used the keywords
PUTRETAIN, KEEP, ASSUME, OVERLAY and PUTOVR. Nothing seems
to leave the base display intact. This is the first time I
have coded a subfile window to display no records.

What could be causing my base display to vaporize?

Thanks,
