Re: Auto refresh of display file, without using INVITE keyword.

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The three categories are: 
1-Need to refresh content
2-Need to offer other choices, along with refreshing content
3-Exit

Is that right? 

Isn't #3 involving a stateless situation essentially impossible on the face
of it?  All you really need to do is to have whatever method you use to
maintain the connection's state to roll over and play dead?  That may be the
easiest way to deal with #1 & 2, too.  The user's browser does have a
refresh button.  Let them use it.

Please respond to 
RPG programming on 
the AS400 / 
iSeries 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We are using IBM's WebFacing tool to make iSeries screens available in a
browser.
 
WebFacing does not support all DDS keywords. Some it just ignores, but
some
keywords cause it to reject the display file as non-compilable.
 
One of the keywords in the latter category is INVITE. INVITE is used to
return control to the RPG after a period of time (normally specified on the
CRTDSPF or OVRDSPF command) even if the user has not done anything.
 
This enables the display to be refreshed with new data, refreshed with a
modified set of options (for a menu type display) or even to exit as a
security measure.
 
We have displays in all three categories and need to change them to
maintain
the same function but without using the INVITE keyword.
 
 
Any ideas as to what approach we should use?
