Re[2]: WIndow programming

     Let's say i'm at WRKMBRPDM and I issue a C (Call) on the Opt field
     next to the member of my RPG program. The popup window (let's say 1/4
     of the screen) should appear with still the WRKMBRPDM screen behind
     it. When I exit the screen (F3), the WRKMBRPDM screen should be
     restored withour any "refresh". Is this possible?

Walter,

Your DDS is probably missing two keywords.  In the "Window" DDS, code a
Dummy record format with, say, a one-character field (blank) on line 24
column 79.  Specify the ASSUME keyword.  Like so,

    R      DUMMY                    ASSUME
                             23 79  ' '

Then, in your calling program's DDS, code the KEEP keyword on the record
format that's on the display when you call your window program.

What you are basically doing is telling device management that when your
program sends the window to the display ASSUME that data is on the
screen and KEEP the existing data there.
