Hi Richard -
You could create a display file containing the desired information. Then just declare it in your CL program with DCLF and send it to the screen with a SNDF. You would want to compile the display with DFRWRT(*NO) (defer write) so that the SNDF would show immediately.
Good idea. Just one little enhancement ... to save having to remember to compile it with DFRWRT(*NO), put the FRCDTA keyword on each record format. That causes that record format to be treated as though the file is DFRWRT(*NO) even if it really is DFRWRT(*YES).
(FRCDTA is even more useful when you do want the file as DFRWRT(*YES) because most of the record formats are used for output-input, but you want one or more displayed immediately without a request for input.)
