Hello,

Is it possible to call a program( which is usually displaying a screen GUI ) and force it to minimize itself when it starts, in other words this program does some processing and I need it to run minimized until it finishes what it has to do, then the user can Maximize later?

Regards

Use the ACTION clause in the DISPLAY statement.

DISPLAY ......blah, blah, blah,
ACTION ACTION-MINIMIZE.
