Re: Overlay not working ?

Or perhaps it's the old wanting to keep a format behind a window?  The 
source would definitely solve this issue.

                 I have yet to see a correct answer posted so heres my
observations on your problem.
1 the fields on each format must be on the different lines and must
but cannot (IIRC) be interleaved. Ie format 1 must be at the top and
format 2 at the bottom.
The 1st format you Write/Exfmt must not have Overlay (so it clears
the screen) and the 2nd needs to have Overlay on it.

n.b. this assumes the same program is being used, otherwise you will
need to use Assume at some point.

Perhaps if the problem persists, you could post some of your dds 
source.
