As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Hi, Tim:

Consider submitting the search to run in batch (or use the spawn API).

I have a SQLRPGLE program that does a search using "like" over a large file.
The search can take a bit a time in some cases. I would like to be able to
stop the search by hitting a key (say esc key tied to an attention program).

Can this be done? Or are there other techniques I can use. I've tried the
"fetch first 25 rows only" clause, but the search still can take a long
time.
