Re: sys 36 internal display file

[Arnaldo Gaudenzi <argasoft@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
without a listing it's hard to understand what could be wrong. The first that
comes up to me is that you have:
a. a second EXCPT on the same screen but without indicating an output;
b. an EXCPT calling a blank screen.
Errors you mention are messages set by you or SYS. If latter, which is the
number?
