RE: Stale Window Background

Try specifying RSTDSP(*YES) on your CRTDSPF command for the full screen
display files. And watch any record formats that have OVERLAY specified.
I've seen too many OVERLAYs foul up an application.

Subject: Stale Window Background



Here is my scenario.
1. PGMA displays SCREEN1, then calls PGMB.
2. PGMB displays a window.  User presses F3. PGMB returns leaving it's
display file open and LR off.
3. PGMA displays SCREEN2, then calls PGMB.
4. PGMB displays a window

In the above scenario, the background displayed upon execution of step 4
is
the same background as displayed in step 2.  This situation persists
until
the display file in PGMB is closed.  Given that PGMA and PGMB must
remain
distinct programs, is there a way to have the current background
displayed
when PGMB displays it's window?  It seems kludgy to close PGMB's display
file every time it's called.  Below is the DDS for PGMB.
