JDE 9.2 GUI/WINDOW/EXFMT question

I hope I can make sense of this.

We are in the process of retrofitting custom mods from JDE A7.3 to A9.2. Most of the work has gone pretty smoothly, but we are stuck on one particular modification in the P03103 pgm.

In A7.3 we added a record to the V03103 DSPF. This record format is a window, with one input capable field. In the program, we used EXFMT to write and read this record if the operator hit the F3 key. It worked just fine in JDE on the Genesis GUI screen as well as the green screen. However on A9.2 it does not work as well on the new GUI screen. The window does not display a clear border, it shows a checkerboard border. But even worse, it does not return control to the RPG program when the Enter key is pressed. You can press any other funtion key to return control back to the RPG program.

Can someone tell me what I need to do in order to make the "ENTER" key work?

I removed the BORDER keyword, but am not totally satisfied with the look and feel of the window when it is displayed.

By the way, IMO, the new GUI look and feel is worse than the Genesis version
