RE: Why doesn't my display record show up?

["Holden Tommy" <Tommy.Holden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What happens is this...

When you write a format, it gets "buffered" until an EXFMT or READ is
executed on that format OR another format using overlay.  When you EXFMT
again, it writes the "buffered" information to the screen, so after the
first exfmt you don't HAVE the command screen "buffered" for output onto
the next screen...

Hope that helps...I'm not that good at explaining things LOL 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Mike,

I blush to admit that when this happens to me, it's because I have
forgotten to write the record with the Fkey labels. It is also possible
that if the subfile record is long enough, it could over write the
footer/label record even if it has OVERLAY keyword specified. I've never
encountered more sophisticated reasons, but if this doesn't help,
perhaps someone else has.

HTH,
Roger Mackie

So here is what is happening. When I initally call the program, a screen
comes up with a subfile that the user has to select a line on. The
function keys show up great on this screen and everything works good.
After they make that selection, another screen with another subfile
shows up. Problem is that the function keys don't show up on this screen
or on the prompt window (yet another subfile). All of the function key
records have the OVRLAY keyword specified.

Am I missing something here?
