RE: CL progress bar

Design question. Why are you running this interactive at all? Why tie up the users terminal for a long running job that can easily be run in batch and let the user go back to work.

Has anyone found a way to do a simple progress bar in CL? I have a
long-running interactive CL (please don't ask why) and I want to keep
the user informed of the progress. It could be a bar, or just a
simple percent count-up. I've searched the archives and the only
thing I found was Booth Martin's RPG progress bar. A neat piece of
work but it doesn't fit my needs. I'm currently using ten SNDPGMMSG
commands (10%, 20%, etc.) sprinkled throughout the code. Clunky, but somewhat functional.

Maybe I'm dreaming but...
If CL issues (or receives) a return code for every command executed,
is there a way to trigger something after each command, regardless of
the return code? Pretty vague, I know. Sorry about that.

As always, any and all responses are appreciated.
