Re: Service Programs & Error Message Subfiles

Hi Peter, since Mark already clearly stated the problem I
do it too:
When from program A the display file is suspended due to
the first call to program B (a window subfile) the window
overlap the display file A without erasing it, but when it
terminates and program A call again program B it wipes out
BACKGROUND screen. I use ASSUME in then B display file and
RSTDSP *YES in display A.
Clear now?
