Re: CL progress bar

Not a problem. It's a legitimate question. :-)

The current (old) version is S/36 code - a series of OCL procedures running a series of RPG II programs and #GSORTs. Our conversion project is a two-stage process. First we convert it and get it to work (quickly - deadline). In the second stage of conversion, I can take the time to change it to batch. It's a hairy little beast (don't get it wet, don't feed it after midnight, etc.). But for now (and just because I like the idea) I was looking for a quick, simple status bar that would work within a rather complex CL.

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.

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.

Tim specifically asked us NOT to ask why! :)
