Re: WRITE display file

Or you could send a status message to the *external message queue and it will display at the bottom of the screen while processing is taking place.

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.
