It already had that on there so I prompted and forced it back again
then recompiled - it worked! Thanks!

You should not use RSTDSP(*YES) unless you know what this function is
doing, the default is *NO for a reason.

Your program was failing because it was not repainting its display (ie.
writing the SFLCTL record) when the called program completed.

You use RSTDSP(*YES) if your program can be interrupted either by an
attention program that opens a display file, or by a message handling
program that opens a display file. In virtually all other cases you do
not need to use RSTDSP. RSTDSP causes the contents of the current
display to be saved when the program is suspended and then restored when
the program resumes. The restore operation can then cause undesired
flashing of the display and cursor jumps if the suspended program does
act responsibly and repaints its display.
