Re: Subfile, window overlay, DSPF close / open

Have you tried USRRSTDSP?

I do not think it will work when opening/closing a DSPF, but then only
WINDOWS type DSPFs. Beware, you will see the first background the WINDOW
DSPF was opened.

And, you do not need OVERLAY in all the WINDOW record formats, only when it
is aSFLCTL record format in a WINDOW.

With regards,

I've added an automatic refresh option for the subfile. I accomplished

this via an OVRFDSPF WAITRCD(xx). The user has the

ability to turn the auto-refresh feature on and off and to change the time

out value. In order to do that, the DSPF must be closed, the

override changed or removed and the DSPF opened. I also disable the time

out when any window is displayed.

The issue I'm having is that when the auto refresh is on and a window is

displayed, the background screen blanks out. Is it

possible to retain the original screen background, even though the DSPF

has been closed and opened?

There is a dummy format with ASSUME KEEP and all window formats have

OVERLAY specified. Compiled with RSTDSP(*YES).
