Re: PUTOVR & OVRDTA not working

Hi Charles,

I am not expecting the company using 2400 baud dial up lines.
I sought after PUTOVR & OVRDTA only because, my count did not refresh on
SFLCTL.

The count variable in debug shows the new updated value.

Yes I am reading (EXFMT) the screen after writing the new SFLCTL?
And DSPF got the Defer write (DFRWRT) parameter.

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.

Hi,

I have a DSPF that is compiled with RSTDSP(*YES) & this displays a SFL
(with SFLINZ & SFLRNA).
And allows user to add new entries & press to F10 to save.
I loop thru SFL & validate & save data to DB file.
Also while looping thru SFL, I count the number of records entered on the
SFLCTL.
I re-initialize the SFL & then I display the count (LS_#PLTPKD) on

SFLCTL.

The new count never shows up on SFLCTL. The DSPF field sustains the same
old stale data that is was originally written with.

I have OVERLAUY & PUTOVR at record level....then i got OVRDTA at the

field

level.
What am I doing wrong ? 😕

* A R LPNSCNSLOC SFLCTL(LPNSCNSLOS)*
* A PUTOVR*

* A SFLRNA*
* A 41 SFLDSP*
* A 42 SFLDSPCTL*
* A 43 SFLEND(*MORE)*

* A CF09(09 'Update')*

* A 8 37'Pallets Picked :'*
