Subject: What do I need to set on a DSPF to overlay the calling programs screen?
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
My first display file in many years.
I have to add a prompt screen and program that is called from multiple programs. I created a separate display file and RPG program to prompt the user to enter initials. I used a window for this.
I am trying to get the window to overlay the calling program's screen so that the user can still see the data on the calling programs screen. When I call the window program, it completely blanks out the calling program's screen. How do I get it to retain the data on the screen?
I am sure I have done this in the past but cannot get it to work today.
