Description

Nice-to-have - a built-in variable called something like UNFORMATTED_BLANK that could be used in a screen definition, ie.
<TESECTION BLANK_SCREEN WHEN Screen_1_1$ IS UNFORMATTED_BLANK>
this would allow a very simple definition for the universally applicable blank screen, instead of having to define 24 AND SCREENs with 80 blanks. Not really sure if there is much need for a FORMATTED_BLANK, but if not, could drop the "UNFORMATTED".

i may have been too hasty here - i have noticed that i now get this screen sometimes when i am not yet connected - shouldn't there be some sort of lock to not process if the session is not connected yet?

If it takes more than 5 seconds for the screen to come up after LU initialization, then this could happen. Any details on what occurs when this pops-up? Is it related to a long initialization of the LU?

It's possible, but since I backed it out, I can't be sure. 5 seconds is a very long time, and it's not likely that this would be happening in our production system, which is where we're doing almost all our work. Could the difference be that in my definition I have to check all 24 lines, so that maybe you're being triggered by some other type of unformatted "screen" that isn't a full screen buffer, during some handshaking?

Could be--any chance of getting a buffer trace? There might be a buffer that is being incorrectly interpreted as the blank screen, such as a write with no data, but no clear...on top of a screen that is just fine.

Can you please retest with latest build, as the code involved was updated in build 1.3.28.

Initial testing looks good - I'll close, but re-open if it fails when installed to production.

I just got a failure again - it is an almost blank screen, but it has an error message on line 24, starting in column 2 or 3 - WHEN SCREEN IS EMPTY is being driven, when in fact the screen isn't empty. I switched back to my settings when all 24 lines are compared to 80 blanks, and it worked fine.

This can happen when there are multiple buffers sending unformatted displays-- last one doesn't clear, just sets cursor to 1,1.
Will try to make this more reliable...

Any chance of a trace including this occurring?
This would help assure that we nail it.

yes, once I get through the wierdness I'm experiencing at the moment I'll get back to that and get you a trace - pretty sure I can recreate easily.
