You might want to make this screen just a regular subscreen. Since you only
pass the 'slave' screen two items which I'm assuming are temporary items,
there
is no real reason to call it a slave screen. The SLAVE screens purpose is to
allow a user to enter data a file that cannot fit all it's fields onto one
screen. This is why the mode is so important. There is no other reason to call
a screen a SLAVE screen.

Let me know if I misunderstood the use of this screen.

Yes that worked! Not sure the reason for making it a Slave Screen other
than to supress the warning message you get when you compile the screen and
it has no FILE statements - but it works ok. Guess we'll keep it like that
until some future release decides to not allow that "feature".

Thanks for the suggestion Michael!!!!
