RE: Multiple Displays vs One Display

I assuming he means screens....

Where a screen is made up of multiple record formats all on the screen at the same time.

So a Work with Customers program, would likely have at least two screens in the same display file.
1) Work with Customers screen
2) Add/Change Customer screen

Subject: RE: Multiple Displays vs One Display

I have an opinion oriented question. I have noticed in our

shop that

many programs use multiple displays within one program.

What is the

prevailing wisdom of many displays in a program versus one

program/one

display?

Just to clarify, are we discussing multiple display file
objects -or- multiple formats in a single display file object?

(From the user's perspective, a "display" will typically
constitute a number of record formats using such keywords as
OVERLAY, PUTOVR/OVRATR, WINDOW, etc.)
