Re: Preserving Main Window Display

Brian Piotrowski wrote:


Hi All,



We are in the middle of converting a subroutine to modules for ease of
maintenance.  Right now, we have one of our programs call a module that
displays it's data in a window (using an EXFMT command).  However, it
blanks out the main window.  Even when the user window disappears the
program will not display the data in the main window anymore.



Can someone suggest what needs to be done?  I guessing it may have
something to do with overlays, correct?  If that is the case, which
overlay function needs to be changed - in the main screen, in the window
or both?



Thanks!


Brian.


Brian,
I think that you need is the KEEP keyword in the window format and a dummy format in the same display file, such as: 


@ASSUME
                                       ASSUME
                                       1   2   ' '
At least this seems to work when invoking a new program that displays a window. I guess it would work with a module doing the same thing.
