Re: Service Programs & Error Message Subfiles

There is a problem with RSTDSP(*YES).

It restores the way data used to be.  Not the way it currently is.

Let's say that PgmA puts up a panel and has RSTDSP(*YES).  The user performs 
some
action that calls PgmB with a window.  The user alters the data in the window
(which also happens to be some of the data in the panel presented in PgmA) and
the program returns.

What is on the screen? The original RSTDSP(*YES) data or the true data?  If you
must program in a recall of true data, why bother the OS overhead of RSTDSP?

IMHO, never believe anything is the way it used to be.  I wear a zen watch.  The
true time is now.  RSTDSP is then.
