Booth, is the subfile waiting for input, or is it just display only? Just an idea off the top of my head, you might be able to use a break message handling program, but not sure of any details on implementation.... ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Notifying an open program(s) of a new record: Author: <MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com > at INET_WACO Date: 5/6/99 8:55 AM Either I am having a brain flat or there's more to this than meets the eye. I want to have a subfile program open on users' desks. That subfile will show selected records from a file. During the work day records will be added and changed in that file. In order for the file to be up to date a refresh has to occur. One can of course manually refresh the subfile, or even put a timer cycle onto it. However there must be a way to signal the program, or at least the workstation(s) that a change has occurred? That seems straight forward but it isn't clear to me. I have been thinking a trigger on the file would serve the purpose, and it might if I could see how to notify the subfile program. A second part of that problem is that there would be more than one workstation to notify. Any ideas? -- ----------------------------------------------------------- boothm@ibm.net Booth Martin ----------------------------------------------------------- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
