Old fashion Green screen DSPFquestion

Hello guys

Hope some of the veterans here will be able to help with the following:

Pgm A with *DS4 SFL screen calls program B that displays a small *DS3
screen
(DSPF B had a dummy *ASSUME record).

a CPF4169 is issued when DSPF B does not have a DSPSIZ(27 132 *DS4) line.
(curiously, when removing the *ASSUM dummy record no CPF is issued)

After changing DSPF B to DSPSIZ(24 80 *DS3 27 132 *DS4)
(and keeping the *ASSUME dummy record) no CPF4169 is issued.

But,
Program B clears the screen entirely
- no background screen of PGM A is left on the screen.

*ASSUME does not seems to help.

How do I configure the DSPFs so that PGM A screen does not get cleared and
is displayed in the background ?

Thanks
Gad
