Re: window in a window and stupid DDS tricks

Joel,

You can use that particular window itself (without any new record 
format) to display footer. Just put the footer info at the bottom (leave 
a gap of one row from the bottom) in window.

Thanks,
Rajeev.

I've learned a lot by exposing my ignorance.  

Now I can put a window in a window without using the ASSUME keyword,
providing it's a one display file, one program situation.  Calling 
another
program that pops up the window in a separate display file is a 
different
issue.

I never realized you could put the subfile control record below the 
subfile.
Unfortunately, what I'd really like to do is have part of it above 
(colum
headings and so forth) and part below (totals, function keys.)

Could someone enlighten me on the window footer record.  The only 
reference
I could find (using Info Seeker, admittedly) in the DDS and Display
Programming manuals (v3r7) was a note in an appendix to the Display
Programming manual that Rumba doesn't support them. It's not the window
title, is it?  

Thanks to everyone who suggested that there were ways of doing displays
without much in the way of DDS keywords.  It's easier (for me, anyway) 
to
complain about it than learn the new tools that would enable me to do 
it.
