Hello group:

What I thought would be pretty simple has turned into me scratching my 
head.  I have an interactive screen where the user enters a date, press 
enter & it generates a report.  This works fine, but I wanted to add a 
message that blinks telling the user "Please wait generating your report". 
 

So I added the "Please Wait..." to the dds like this:

      A                                  8 26'Please wait....'
      A                                      COLOR(RED) 
      A N31                                  DSPATR(ND) 
      A  31                                  DSPATR(BL) 

C                     Exfmt   Scrn1
C * do logic to validate the entered date

Added this to my program after validating everything is ok

C* 
 C                   Eval      *In31 = *On 
 C* 
 C                   Write     Scrn1 
 C* begin producing report 
 
 
No blinking message appears, just begins producing the report.  This can 
be done, but what am I missing?
