Is there a way of getting PRO-IV to refresh the screen display ?

I have a paging screen, from which an item can be selected. I then call a global screen to display more info - this global screen clears the screen and has its own format associated with it - the global uses all of the screen, and I do not want to make it a 'window'.

When I have finished the global and I return to my paging screen, I want ot be able to redraw the screen format, but as far as I can tell, I can only do this by leaving and recalling. The problem with doing this is putting the cursor back on the item originally selected.

Any ideas ?

Hi,

The only thing that I can think of is to save @PSEQ on the way out of the paging screen and then set @SPSEQ to that value on the way back in. This will then possition the cursor on the record that was selected.

Why cant you make the global function 'window'?

I don't know if this will help or not. Would using the RefreshPage() property work? I have never used it because a bug has prevented it from working up until maintenance release PROIV Version 5.5r518.

The RefreshPage property should work but you are limited in that you can only call it from after write no error of the paging screen. If this is too limiting, you can exit and re-enter the screen and set begin and end paging via StartPagingSequence and EndPagingSequence properties. If you are not on ver 5.5 you can still achieve this via @SPSEQ. Lew Mccabe
