Justin,

You need to add another record format to your DDS for the window, that specifies the "ASSUME" keyword.

You do not need to actually display this other record format in your program, it just needs to have that ASSUME keyword somewhere in there.

HTH,

I have a 5250 program that calls a second program that displays a 5250 window.  I want the window from the second program to overlay the screen from the first program.  By default, I get the window on top of an otherwise black screen.  The window program is commonly used and works fine elsewhere, so I'm convinced the issue is with the first program.

I've done this in the past, and I recall there was some DDS trick to
accomplish this.  Can someone please refresh my memory?

Thanks
