Re: GUI RLU (was Record Number / RPG cycle)

After Scott's answer this morning I decided I must have missed something. 
Sure enough John, there' a  "design" command that I'd never seen before. 
That made a lot of difference. 

Simon's CL digital clock was what I decided to use as my "going to school" 
example.  I liked the way the Code/400 designer worked, allowing me to 
paste in figlet letters instead of the 88:88:88 stick numbers.

I came away with two questions: In CL with a DDS screen how do you turn 
off 59 indicators every cycle?  There has got to be something better than 
CHGVAR repeated 59 times, hasn't there?   And, number 2, is there a way to 
monitor for a function key?  I want the clock to tick off the seconds, 
which I suppose means a SNDRCVF *NO followed by a DLYJOB command, and then 
a GOTO.  But I don't understand a way the job can be interrupted and then 
ended gracefully.

Other than,  functions like bringing up an existing report or display in 
one

window and drawing a box around a portion of the screen with the mouse
and pasting it to a new report or display and it creating all the DDS. 

Ah,  I don't think RLU was that easy.
