Automatic Update of Display Window

Is there a way to display a window in an interactive job where the window
data is automatically updated without the user having to press any keys?

We have converted a submitted RPGLE program to run interactively.  To
indicate to the user that the program is functioning and not just locked up,
I wanted to display a popup window which automatically displays some data
from the transaction being currently processed.  When the program ends, the
window also closes and the previous screen is redisplayed.  Unfortunately,
everything I have tried either forces the user to press Enter before the
program continues or the program runs to completion without any window being
displayed at all.

Is there a way to do this using a window - or even a regular screen - or am
I running down a dead-end street?  I am open to alternative ideas.
