Re: Option field repopulating itself with old entries

Was DSPF2 that PROG2 is using compiled with RSTDSP(*YES)?
Display files using windows usually are, and that means that when the file
is first written to the screen, the data on the DSPF1 that is being
overlayed is saved and restored on subsequent writes of DSPF2.
So all calls of PROG2 after the initial call will display what was on DSPF1
when it was first overlayed.
At least that is how I understand RSTDSP works.....

I am missing something. Has this happened to anyone before?

I have two programs. PROG1 has a page-at-a-time subfile with options.
A user enters options on the desired rows and then PROG1 cycles through
the subfile in a FOR loop, calling PROG2 to put up a window and process
some records. Everything works as desired. The subfile options are
cleared and everything looks fine. The user can even page forward and
backward several pages and everything still looks fine.

However, from then on, as soon as the user keys an option into PROG1 and
presses enter, even on another page, those first, original entered
options reappear as if by ghost.

Obviously I am having a brain flat. I have never seen this behavior
before. Weird.

Any ideas?
