RE: "Processing Request. Please Wait"

Oh, I am with you, and SNDPGMMSG is what I use.  But different strokes for 
different folks.  You might be right about sticking to one method.  Makes 
that training easier.  And, doesn't negate the other.  For instance, once 
you started using full screen you'll anger the people when they don't get 
a full screen on other ap's and have to remember to look at the message 
line.

RE: "Processing Request. Please Wait"






SNDPGMMSG is a good idea.  However it has two drawbacks.
1)  It is often cleared by other messages
>>>>> Valid point.
2)  Some users who can't notice an Input Inhibited light might not think 
to look at the bottom of their screen for a message.  The whole screen 
method is definitely in their face.
>>>>> Training, culture/user community, IT standards; use the method that 
is the "de facto" standard

The users that I have worked with seem to like the "in progress" 
messages.... Plus they are extremely easy to deploy; one simple 
CL,RPG,/COPY/Service Program and you can put them "any where".  Also with 
a RTVMSGD routine, extremely flexible.
