Re: WDWBORDER changing to colons unexpectedly.

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Booth,

What do you mean "default borders" vs. the colons?

Assuming you mean the GUI border....check the size of the window vs.
the text you're displaying.

The GUI elements require a couple of extra spaces vs. the character elements.

Assuming the you've got ENHDSP(*YES) on the CRTDSPF, then the system
will use the GUI border unless you've not given it enough room to do
so at which point it switches to the character border.


Try making the window a bit bigger or your title fields a bit smaller;
but note that if you make the window too big and you'll never get the
GUI border:
