Re: Invisible Window

I'm not familiar with using a dummy record or with the ASSUME keyword.

The iSeries Help for ASSUME states,
"It causes the system to assume that this record appears on the display
when
the file is opened. Use this keyword to receive data that a previous
program has left on the display". I'm not sure I understand how this will
help.

And the Help for KEEP states,
"It causes the system to leave the record you are designing on the display
after the file has been closed".

Is this one of those situations where I should just try it without asking
too many questions? (Like Hannibal Smith - his plans don't work right,
they
just work.)

Well, do you have a dummy record format with the ASSUME key word?

And OVERLAY is not required, as using the WINDOW key word you already
indicate a special type of DSPF.

I would add KEEP, as well.
