I did this with RPG and a window. Here's what I came up with. A R ELEINQWT 030603 A*%%TS SD 20030603 141958 RPOWER REL-V5R2M0 5722-WDS 030603 A WINDOW(8 18 3 44) 030603 A LOCK 030603 A FRCDTA 030603 A 1 15'Retrieving Names,' 030603 A DSPATR(HI) 030603 A 2 6'Please Wait' 030603 A DSPATR(HI) 030603 A STATBAR 20 O 2 18DSPATR(HI) 030603 c eval statbar = *blanks c if (innum = 0) and c (inname <> *blanks) c eval statbar = %trim(statbar) + '.' c eval numstat = numstat + 1 c write eleinqwt * ----- -------- c exsr empl_search * ---- ----------- c write eleinqti c dou *inkb c seton 93 c exfmt eleinqhd * ----- -------- in my empl_search routine, I'm actually increasing what I called a status bar so it shows the user it's doing something. * get current leave names c inname setll elevempr7 c setoff 95 c dou *in95 c read elevempr7 95 * ---- -------- -- c 95 iter * -- ---- .... more processing in here c eval n = n + 1 c eval leavenames(n) = namenum c if numstat >= 20 c eval statbar = *blanks c eval numstat = 0 c endif c eval statbar = %trim(statbar) + '.' c eval numstat = numstat + 1 c write eleinqwt c enddo So, each loop thru it shows one more "."

The idea is to display "Processing...please wait" while a program is called to process data, then returns a few seconds later with results to display. I found something on this topic in the archives, but unfortunately it was only a discussion of whether it would be better to use SNDPGMMSG or display a whole screen. I would prefer the latter, but don't know how to go about it. Any suggestions ?
