Hi Rob -

Also using FRCDTA will affect performance just as DFRWRT(*NO) does.

True, but only on the format(s) on which you specify it, rather than every format in the file like DFRWRT(*NO).

You might also try going through the display file and removing keywords that may not actually be needed.

I had a situation several months ago where I was modifying a program to call another program which has its own display file. I started getting display file errors on the display file of the original program when I started a new transaction, but only after my program had been called in the processing of the first transaction. This error had not occurred when I was testing my program inside of a simple shell.

The display file of the first program (which was purchased software that I now provide in-house support for) looked like something converted from S/36 SFGR specs or possibly written by a first-grader. (And the RPG/400 program was just as bad.) The display file had lots of unneeded OVERLAY keywords and other unneeded keywords. When I removed the keywords that weren't actually needed, the display file still worked the way it was supposed to, and the halts went away.
