WRITE display file

I am processing an sql call within an rpgle program....unfortunately it 
takes about three minutes to build and extract the appropriate data.

I have been trying to display a simple display file to the screen so the end 
user knows the program is still working but so far have been unable to get 
it to work correctly.

I tried using WRITE which is supposed to display the record to the screen 
and then return control to the program (begin sql processing) but nothing 
ever gets displayed.

Is there something else I'm missing? I turned the KEEP RECORD ON DISPLAY on 
but that did not make any difference either.


If you bought, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
