RE:     re: MSGLOC

Are you using the OVERLAY keyword on the MSGCNTRL format of the MSG subfile?

I use RSTDSP(*YES) on my display files(don't comment on performance, I 
don't care).  I use OVERLAY and PUTOVER on all formats except the HEADING
format(that one washes the screen each time) and I use OVRDTA on my data 
fields. 
 You put up the other formats,  and then (without OVERLAY) when you put up
your msg control format it washes the whole screen I bet.

I just ran across something and can't imagine how to fix it  -  I am not
even positive of what is wrong.

I just converted an old Sys/36 screen to an externally described spec.
and added validity checking and error messaging to the program.

There are three panels that are used in the program, two of which start
on Line 19.  How do I make a MSGLOC(##)for them?  MSGLOC(06) fails
catastrophically, and MSGLOC(24) clears line 19-23 of the screen,
leaving just an error message showing.
