Re: Pop-Up Window

You must close the display file with the window after each time it is
displayed.  You can either set on *LR or specify USROPN on the display file
and explicitly open and close the display file.  We prefer the USROPN
method.  Don't ask me why you have to do this, but it
works.  There is another method where you write a blank format to the
screen but we have found that closing the display file is faster 
and a little more straightforward.

the user selects an entry which calls another new program that pops up a
window to allow the user to change a description.  This window loses its
border the second time it is called.

after recompiling (recompiled to see if a PTF caused a problem). I see no
difference in the DDS relating to the Window keywords.  He has the DUMMY
format with ASSUME. It looks like it should work.

behind it is not the most current, if the windows file is RSTDSP(*NO), the
border disappears but the background screen is correct.  If the Windows DDS
is brought into the calling programs dds source and compiled, the window
works fine.  We need this to work as a stand alone pop-up window.  The
windows program he cloned is stand alone.

different but again I see no keyword differences. I have tried every
combination of keywords I could find in the DDS manual and still no solution.
