In my experience, funky windows come from them being to small.


Interesting. I should note that I am using the same display record
definitions in the service program's display file as they exist in the
legacy applications (maintenance programs with prompt screens/logic
included in the program), and we have never had this problem in the legacy
applications. The one window in the service program is 11 lines x 80
columns. Not sure how big is big enough.

Make it a bit bigger and make sure you've got at least 2 (?) characters
from the window border to the start or end of any field.


Yeah, see, we use the *DFT option to let the system determine the
location. This is even more important in a service program that will be
called by multiple programs for which the field being prompted may be in
different locations. I thought about passing the x,y coordinates from the
calling program to try what you're suggesting, but that would be a
maintenance nightmare.
