Specifically, in the last tip, we saw how quick and simple it is to save and restore the screen using two DSM APIs, QsnSavScr and QsnPutBuf. The only drawback was that it required your application to be written in an ILE language. This week we will introduce a "helper" program you can put to use immediately to accomplish the same thing from a non-ILE program.

The last thing you wanted to do was start coding 5250 data streams in a user-defined record format. In that case, Dynamic Screen Manager is just what you have been looking for. How to save, restore the screen -- the quick and easy way [Search400.com] In this tip Ron Turull turns his attention toward a couple of DSM APIs. These two APIs can be used to take a "snapshot" of the screen, save it and restore it later using the saved data. ILE CL can boost productivity and performance [Search400.com] In case you hadn't noticed, the CL language is an official ILE language. There are many obvious advantages to this. There are also some that are not so obvious. And some seeming advantages are not advantages at all! The trouble with Reclaim Resources [Search400.com] The RCLRSC command could cause problems when converting applications to ILE. Here are four solutions to help you avoid trouble.
