Runtime Global Help Area List Management RSI maintains a global help area list. As different application forms are displayed, entries are added and deleted from the global help area list. When a new application form is displayed, the help area list is condensed by deleting all help areas that are completely within the area of the screen that is cleared by the new application form. Any null help areas that directly follow a deleted entry are also deleted. If an application form clears all 24 lines, the entire global help area list is deleted. If an application form does not clear any lines, no entries are deleted. After the global help area list is condensed, the help area list for the new application form is appended to the end of the global help area list. If the new application form is a variable starting line number form, the row numbers in the form's help area list are adjusted for the actual starting line number. Any help areas that would not be on the physical screen are deleted from the global help area list. The entire global help area list is scanned for entries that have the suppress selection indicator set on (by the RPG program); if any are found they are deleted from the global help area list.
