 AS400 – displaying window in *DS3 screen size over SFL in *DS4 screen size
AS/400 Display File, DS3, DS4, RPG/400, RPGLE
I want to be able to display a window with a 24x80 screen size, without removing the background SFL which is displayed with a 27x132 screen size. Haven't been able to do it. I have tried 2 different formats in one display file, using 2 line and position definitions per field (one for DS3 and one for DS4) and DSPMOD (may not have done all this correctly), 2 display files in the same program and 2 separate programs where the first calls the second. The appropriate keywords, ASSUME and KEEP, have been included but whatever I've tried, the background SFL is either totally removed, leaving a black background, or the program crashes indicating that the DS3 format can't be displayed because it is not compatible with the defined screen size.

Is there a way to do what I've described?
