DLYJOB

Hi all,

I have a cl pgm, 
I have defined a display file with 3 formats (#Screen,#MSGF,#Screen2)
#Screen requires input from the user
#MSGF is a message subfile
#Screen2 is a display asking the user to wait will the processing continues.

I issue a SNDF to the #MSGF
A SNDRCVF to the screen
Then some validation (libs etc)
Then SNDF to #Screen2
Then a call to another CL pgm to do some work, with Screen2 displayed on the
screen.  

This works just dandy in one of my programs, where the called CL pgm has
quite a bit of work to do.

But,
In another pgm where the called CL finishes very quickly I inserted a
DLYJOB(5) after the SNDF #Screen2
But to no effect.
If I change the SNDF to SNDRCVF it seems to work ok

Does anyone know why this is so?

Another point of note is, that when using the SNDF there is a delay then
screen2 flashes on then off.
But using SNDRCVF screen2 appears almost immediately then there is a delay
(expected result).

Thanks in advance
