RE: window display clearing display first

I'm assuming NOCLEAR and SCR1 record formats in your example below
belongs to display file of window2 program.

Try add KEEP keyword to both the NOCLEAR and SCR1 record formats.

Subject: window display clearing display first

I have an issue with a window clearing the display

old oe system calls window1

window1 requests fax info
calls window2 to find customer fax numbers
returns to window1 with lr on
calls window3 to display error message
when window3 displays, it first clears the display

if I return from window3 and call another window program the display
is
still cleared.

the background will not return until window1 is redisplayed

if window2 does not turn on LR, everything works just fine.

all of the display files have records with assume and keep keywords
in
them.

all the record formats displayed use the overlay keyword.

I tested this in a number of different ways and it seems to be a
universal
truth.

Is this normal behavior? Is there a way to make this work with LR
on?

typical beginning of a screen member

R NOCLEAR TEXT('Prevent Initial Clear')

ASSUME

OVERLAY

1 2'X'

R NOERASE TEXT('Prevent Screen Erase')

KEEP

R SCR1

WINDOW(3 4 20 72)

OVERLAY

RTNCSRLOC(&XXRCD &XXFLD )
