Re: Continous update

All,


ok, I got this to work and it's behaving very nicely!!!   Thank 
you all for your input!    For those of you who would like to try 
it, I descrbe the steps below.   The part I was missing was the 
WAITRCD parm on the create/change display file (special thanks to 
Pete), and an indicator on the INVITE keyword.    

Thank you all.



----Steps ----

1. Add the INVITE keyword to the subfile control record conditioned 
with the same indicator that is used for the SFLCLR keyword, but 
reversed.  example:
 (to initialize the subfile, I used 
80                             SFLCLR
so the INVITE keyword must be conditioned:
N80                          INVITE)

2. When creating the display file, change the WAITRCD parm to the
number of seconds you want between refreshes. (the refresh rate) i 
used 20 seconds.

3. In the F spec for the workstation add a continuation like this:

FFilenameIPEAF........L..I........Device+......KExit++Entry+A....U

FMYDSPF  CF  E                    WORKSTN      KNUM       01    
   
4. Change the EXFMT to a WRITE for the subfile control record.

5. Add a READ just after the WRITE mentioned in #4 with an indicator 
in the second position.

6. Test for F3 and exit loop if true otherwise continue loop and 
refresh the subfile.
