Screen Overlay Area
A screen overlay area defines an area of a base screen within which an overlay screen
can be displayed. When overlay screens are used in a program, a screen overlay area
must be defined in the base screen description entry.
level-num
is a numeric literal that indicates the hierarchy. The value must be within the range
of 2 through 49. Subordinate entries are not allowed.
area-name
is the name given to the screen overlay area.
AREA AT line , col
specifies the position of the upper left-hand corner of the area relative to the
boundaries of the screen.
SIZE lines , cols
determines the number of lines and columns included in the area. The entire area
must lie within the boundaries of the base screen, and no fields can overlap the
area.
For T16-6510 terminals, the cols value must be the same as the number of
columns declared for the base screen.
Overlay Screen
An overlay screen is a screen that is displayed in an overlay area of a base screen.

the overlay area into which it is to be placed. For 6510 terminals, the width must
be exactly the same as the base screen.
