Yeah, that's what my example I sent a minute or so does. Plus, it gives the ability to show the user progress... I guess lol. It's like the windows status bar...

In your program perform a write just before doing what causes it to sit and wait. One benefit over using Mark's suggestion of sending a status message is that subsequent status messages will not replace your "Processing...please wait " message. Thank you, Matt Tyler WinCo Foods, LLC mattt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Fleming, Greg (ED) Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 8:25 AM To: rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Processing ....please wait I'm trying to figure out how to display a screen without requiring the program to wait for a response. The idea is to display "Processing...please wait" while a program is called to process data, then returns a few seconds later with results to display. I found something on this topic in the archives, but unfortunately it was only a discussion of whether it would be better to use SNDPGMMSG or display a whole screen. I would prefer the latter, but don't know how to go about it. Any suggestions ?
