RE: Window Does Not Exist?

I remember it happened to me long time ago and this is what I did:

        N41             SFLDSPCTL

And it worked.

HTH...

Subject: Window Does Not Exist?

Hi all,  Now I've got a "strange subfile problem" ~ Must be the day for
them...

A small subfile test program that I have, compiles fine, but errors on the
initial Write to the control-record (with SFLCLR Indicator *On, and all
other's off) with "Window does not exist" (CPF500A) The Cause says "An
attempt was made to display a window record in a window that is not
currently being displayed." (What? LOL)

It's a subfile-in-a-window thing! Oh, it also works fine if I don't do an
initial clear of the subfile!  If I load the subfile, execute format on the
control-record, and then clear the subfile, it works fine, but that's
backwards!

Here's the Display file and small test only program...
