The keyword you need is OVERLAY....but....you may also need CLRL(*no) if your second screen overlays any attribute byte on the original screen.

I.E.

If you write a header format and then exfmt a SFL(SFLCTL) screen you would only use OVERLAY.

If you wanted a screen in the middle of a previous full display you would need both OVERLAY and CLRL(*NO).

I do not believe you need to use a dummy blank screen or the ASSUME keyword to achieve this.

Hope this helps.
