It isn't clear to me exactly what you want to happen, but it seems likely that the confusions over font sizes, etc. would make your desired results impractical and visually conflicting to the user.

However, would it work to put Pgm B's display in an 80 column by 24 row window? Or some other appropriate size for the desired output?

Hello guys

Hope some of the veterans here will be able to help with the following:

Pgm A with *DS4 SFL screen calls program B that displays a small *DS3
screen
(DSPF B had a dummy *ASSUME record).

a CPF4169 is issued when DSPF B does not have a DSPSIZ(27 132 *DS4) line.
(curiously, when removing the *ASSUM dummy record no CPF is issued)

After changing DSPF B to DSPSIZ(24 80 *DS3 27 132 *DS4)
(and keeping the *ASSUME dummy record) no CPF4169 is issued.

But,
Program B clears the screen entirely
- no background screen of PGM A is left on the screen.

*ASSUME does not seems to help.

How do I configure the DSPFs so that PGM A screen does not get cleared and
is displayed in the background ?

Thanks
Gad
