Re: Window erasing background screen issue with service program

[Paul Therrien <paultherrien@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My window display file is *DS3 and *DS4. 

And the window program displays the QCMD screen in the background when i
call it directly from the command line. 

For testing the service program I have an RPG program that only and
simply invokes a procedure in the service program and the service
program then invokes the window program. In this scenario the QCMD
screen is erased when the window is displayed. 

Both the Service program and the window RPG program are in activation
group QILE. 

I am stumped.
