Re: Question regarding SDA WINDOWS clearing the screen whendisplayed ...

In the DDS of the display file that defines your window, add a record format 
that has the keyword "ASSUME" in it. You dont have to write that record format 
or anything. It just have to exist. This will solve your problem.

Here's the situation. I have just recently started using the window feature 
in SDA and love it. My only problem is that if I have a CL program for a menu 
and I call an RPG or even another CL program to control the features of the 
window it clears the screen.

Does anyone know how to fix this so it always "overlays" the menu?  At this 
time I have rigged it so the RPG program controlling the window does a WRITE 
for the menu display and an EXFMT for the window display.  I hate doing such 
a thing and do not want to continue "wasting" resources if there is a better 
way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
