Q: I have two display formats that I want to display at different times on the same screen. The first displays the time/date and a field for entering an order number to be selected. The second screen will display the order information and update the time.
When I display the second screen, it blanks the information that the first screen displayed. I have tried the OVERLAY keyword and it does not make a difference. I have even tried SLNO (*VAR)-still no good. What can be done to fix this situation?
A: You have to make sure that the two screens don't overlap in any fashion. Even if you have OVERLAY, if the second format uses an area defined in the first format, the first format will be removed. If you must have a shared area, you will have to use CLRL(*NO). This will not clear any data-it just overlays existing characters with the new format.
