Re: Adoption of RPG OA (Summary)

You are of course correct, Barbara. It's been a long time. And as long as the handler can control the INFDS then all is good! A few fields are in the first 80 bytes, but those aren't used much.

I'd love to see how well WINGS handles nested popup subfiles, but at
least that can be handled in the middleware (it ain't easy, but it can
be done). The PSDS is nearly impossible to work around - I should know,
it took me a while to do it in my PSC product, which did what WINGS does
about 10 years ago :).

Isn't the cursor position in the INFDS, not the PSDS? The handler has
full control over everything past byte 80 in the INFDS.
