This is common issues in the View/3000 environment, and why all
View/3000 applications should run with STDLIST redirected anywhere
besides the terminal, unfortunately the terminal is the default. I've
always thought that the VOPENTERM intrinsic should have done this for
you automatically. I've seen many COBOL/Vplus programmers use the
DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE option to avoid this problem, which is good because
it is logged with a time stamp, and the session number. The problem with
that is if the program happens to call DBEXPLAIN, the output of that
call will go to STDLIST. So always run View/3000 applications with the
;STDLIST= .
My preference for all V/Plus applications, is to build a circular file
named with the session number, set a proper file equation to it, then
run ;STDLIST= to the *fileeq.
