Assume & PutRetain keywords not found

I am on version 6 fixpack 12.0 of ProfoundUI. I am trying to open a window while keeping the original screen displayed beneath it. The window displays fine, but I lose the background screen. I no longer see properties for "Assume" and "PutRetain". Is there another method to keep the screen displayed when overlaying with a pop-up window?

The missing properties is a bug, contact support@profoundlogic.com for a fix.

That said, if this is a new screen (i.e., not an old 5250 display that you've converted) please don't use this old legacy stuff. To make a window, use the "show as window" property. To overlay, use the "overlay" property. The "assume" property is needed if the screen that you're overlaying is from a separate display file. But legacy cruft like "put retain" is never needed in a new display.
