Create a dummy record format that contains the ASSUME keyword.  This record 
format does not have to be referenced within the program.  It only needs to 
be defined in the display file.

A          R ASSUME                                                
A                                      ASSUME                      
A                                 24 79' '                         

You should also compile your display file using the Restore Display parameter 
RSTDSP(*YES) on the Create Display File command.

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!
