A Screen Group is a logical full screen buffer and keyboard. A number of processes may be assigned to run in a given screen group. The workplace shell is one such screen group. Each screen group is assigned an ID. The screen group assigned to a process is recorded in its Local Information Segment. The currently active screen group is recorded in the Global Information Segment.

Screen Groups are represented by SGCB structures.

Under version 2 of OS/2 the screen group concept has been extended to that of a session.

Refer to the following for information on displaying screen group ids.
