Re: RTNDTA Question

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

I just looked at a working program that uses RTNDTA so that a sub-program can 
process text that is displayed in many display files.  In this case there are 
about 10 display files that all have a text subfile that is the same in all ten 
display files.  Processing of this text is done by a single sub-program.  
RTNDTA is specified on the text formats and the 10 individual differing 
formats.  The display files are created as share(*yes).  The processing is 
exactly as you have described except I used  WRITE A in program X, EXFMT B in 
program Y, and a READ in program X.  The only significant difference I can see 
is that you used an EXFMT where I used a WRITE.

Folks:

Assume two record format A and B with RTNDTA.  EXFMT A and then EXFMT
B.  Now after this can you do READ A.  This thing gives me a session
error.  I know after EXFMT A, you can READ umpteen times with RTNDTA.
Remember I am not trying to READ B, but trying to READ A.  I suspect the
buffer is cleared before displaying B.

That reminds, how do I get a copy of the display buffer?  In the old
debug you can do DSPPGMVAR ZZ01BIN and it will show the first files
buffer.  With ILE Debug I wonder how you do this?
