Hello Booth. I suppose I should answer this since it is my code you're playing with. Multiple CHGVARs are the only way in CL. If you are concerned about the efficiency of the code you could simply save the individual time values (LEFT_HR, RIGHT_HR, LEFT_MIN, and RIGHT_MIN) and compare them so you'ld only set the minimum number of indicators. The following changes will allow a function key to gracefully terminate the clock: CLOCKD -- Add the following lines ======== A CA03(03 'Exit') A 23 2'F3=Exit' COLOR(BLU) CLOCKC ======== /* Display the clock face */ SNDRCVF WAIT(*NO) MONMSG MSGID(CPF0887) EXEC(DO) RCVMSG MSGTYPE(*EXCP) RCVF ENDDO IF COND(&IN03 *EQ &ON) THEN(RETURN) The above code replaces the current SNDF command and fits before the DLYJOB command. The 'strangeness' of the construct is necessary to satisfy device requirments for the order of I/O operations. What are "figlet" letters? Regards, Simon Coulter. «»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» «» FlyByNight Software AS/400 Technical Specialists «» «» Eclipse the competition - run your business on an IBM AS/400. «» «» «» «» Phone: +61 3 9419 0175 Mobile: +61 0411 091 400 «» «» Fax: +61 3 9419 0175 mailto: shc@flybynight.com.au «» «» «» «» Windoze should not be open at Warp speed. «» «»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» //--- forwarded letter ------------------------------------------------------- > X-Mailer: Lotus Notes Release 5.0a May 4, 1999 > Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 01:57:07 +0000 > From: boothm@earth.goddard.edu > To: RPG400-L@midrange.com > Reply-To: RPG400-L@midrange.com > Cc: none > Subject: 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.
