Internal Display file overlay

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Short version:
How do I display a record format described internal to the program
to the display without waiting for user input before continuing?

Long Version:
I'm modifying an existing program that uses an internally described
display file processed by the cycle.  What I am doing, or attempting
to do, is stick a sub file in the middle of this.

Well, in testing I got this to work fine.  I copied the display file
record into 2 records, chopped out a portion that I'm going to stuff
my sub file into.  It works great in my test program, I display the
subfile (by WRITEing it) which has KEEP specified.  Then I let the 
cycle take care of the internally described file (which has OVERLAY
defined) and it's doing what I want.  

But, running into a snag when I am moving it to development.  If the
user doesn't want the display file to be shown, I have to show the
original info there that was copied into another record format.  

I've tried using WRITE but RPG complains that I need a Data Structure
to write, which I don't want to do.  So I tried READ which works, after
a fashion.  It will display the display file record on the screen, but
then waits for an ENTER before it continues with the cycle, that just
ain't gonna work.

Changing the display file to externally described is not an option in 
this case.
