Re: Write both DDS windows to the display at the same time.

[Peter Dow <petercdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steven,

Take a look at the DFRWRT parm on the CRTDSPF command:

p                     Defer write (DFRWRT) - Help

 Specifies that the writing of data is delayed until it is written
 out with other data when a read request is made.  Control is
 returned to the program immediately after the data is received.
