Re: Service Programs & Error Message Subfiles

["Len Lester" <whylenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I get around this by opening the display file in program B when I enter the 
program and closing it when I return.  *INLR is *OFF.

If program B is called twice before program A displays a screen it leaves 
the background black.  So I have to program for this, too.
