Re: PUTOVR & OVRDTA not working

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Still using 2400 baud dial up lines?

If not, there's little reason to continue to use PUTOVR & OVRDTA...

Nothing jumps out at me as being wrong.  However, what's you're RPG code
look like?

Are you reading the screen after writing the new SFLCTL?

Check the Defer write (DFRWRT) parmaremeter of your display file.  By
default on a CRTDSPF, this is *YES.  Which means that the system doesn't
actually send the screen to the device until a read is done.
