Problem when Overlaping two MAPS

Hi Everyone,
I am developing a new CICS program which overlaps two maps and getting an issue in part of label fields displayed on background screen being also displayed on later screen. This is not desirable and I have to fix this issue really quick.

the issue
MAP1 = COLUMN =1, LINE 1, SIZE= (24,80)
MAP2 = COLUMN =1,LINE =1 SIZE =(24,80)

but MPA2 OCCUPIES POS from LINE# 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 only .

scenario in detail:
logic:
STEP 1> build MAP1 & MAP2 fields
STEP 2> SEND MAP1
STEP 3> SEND MAP2
step4 > return with trans id and commarea

issue:
the field displayed on MAP1 LINE # 19 thru 24 also appears on the screen
final screen display.

I will be glad if anybody could suggest a solution ASAP.

Why aren't you sending the second map with an erase?

Both map should appear togather overlaped. Hence erase is out of question. I had tried erase for shake of satisfaction.....

By overlapped do you mean intertwined, fields from each screen intermingled?

Yes fields are intermingled but that?s what precisely I do not want. i.e. when MAP2 (smaller one) overlaps on MAP1 (bigger one) the area occupied by MAP2 does not have any field from MAP1. Remaining field from MAP1 be visible.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Move low-value to the second map before use send map by 'erase' option.

sorry for the confusion due to erroneous problem statement. I have solved the issue any way.

Here is what my logic does.
MAP1 24x80 (i.e full screen)
MAP2 24x80 LINE 19, COLUMN 1 (virtually occupies only last 6 lines on screen)

overlap is required only when MAP2 has something populated on it based on some other logic, otherwise only MAP1 is displayed. When MAP2 is overlapped on MAP1;
fields which are part of MAP1 was also getting displayed on MAP2 area(intermingled).

I wanted to displayed only MAP2 fields in MAP2 area, remaining field from MAP1 also displayed (that is why i call overlap.)
I wanted to know is there any technique to solve this issue by making changes in MAP definitions, say make MAP2 background different color etc, without making any change in program.

Any further insight is appreciated. Thanks and regards.

much clearer.....
All of map2 must be filled with fields, those fields need not contain anything, but the must be defined.
I'm sure a field defined with a value of spaces will work, but you might try low values first.
