Re: Service Programs & Error Message Subfiles

Hi Marco,

I'm not sure I understand the problem. A 2nd call to the program that uses
the display file with the ASSUME format? The screen is gone? You have an
entirely blank screen? The background to the window is gone? The repairman
took the screen to the shop between the 1st & 2nd call <VBG>?

I'll hazard a guess and say that Booth may have given the answer -- make
sure the display file has RSTDSP(*YES).  You can recompile it, or use the
CHGDSPF command.
