I've seen that problem with Rumba several times (you don't mention the
release & version, but you probably have CA/400 for Windows 3.1).

You may have noticed that if you move another window over your Rumba
session window on your PC desktop, that when you go back to the Rumba
session (and the screen has to refresh the Rumba window) that the values
then show as updated.

We had a customer mess with this who tried several (of the apparently
hundred or so) 5763XC1 PTF's for Rumba and in the end they just gave up
on Rumba and loaded the PC5250 emulator instead (you may want to do that
anyway to get used to PC5250 for when you upgrade to Windows 95/NT
verison of CA/400, as Rumba isn't included in that and you must buy it
from Wall Data if you want it).  This customer had an application
display real estate listings, and Rumba would often not refresh the
bottom portion of the screen, so you would see a listing and  the end of
the description and the contact brokers info would often not refresh and
would still show data from previous listings - very nasty !

Just in case you haven't applied the latest PTF cum package you should
do that first.  You may also want to order SF97vrm (vrm= Version,
Release, Mod level of your OS/400 release) and search the PTF 'shopping
list' for PTF's for your version of CA/400 (presumably 5763-XC1 V3R1M1 -
if you still have V3R1M0 you should upgrade it - no charge - as there's
no more support for that version).
