Rob,
It turned out to be a bad vdefine. I had a bad address in the parm
list on the call to ISPF to vdefine the buffer. It wound up using an
address in one of my storage areas as the buffer, and I was using the
address I thought I had vdefined. From what I have read in the manual,
it is not necessary to have a shadow area. Is that correct?

You can only use CHAR, DATAIN and DATAOUT attributes inside a dynamic area (and
CHAR is only valid for shadow variables).
Typically I tend to use attribute characters < x'40' for dynamic area attribute
characters as this helps avoid clashes with any text you may want to display.

Subject: ISPF Dynamic panel buffer question.
Trying to get a panel to display properly. Getting garbage instead.
I have a panel defined with a dynamic area. The definitions from the panel are
below. Within the application, I have a character variable vdefined that is
the screen size, 24 * 80. Below is a cut and paste of the 1st part of the
buffer, vdefined as DYNMBFR. When I invoke the DISPLAY function for this panel
from within the application, it displays garbage. I expected to see a
formatted character string containing MOST FREQUENTLY OBSERVED INSTRUCTIONS
starting in column 22 of the 1st line of the display. The x'4E' is defined on
the panel as
TEXT, with SKIP on. The x'5F' is defined as DATAOUT color yellow.
Anyone have any ideas?
