Re: Time limits in RPG

The OVRDSPF solution requires that you use the WRITE then READ logic in your 
program as the EXFMT does not time out when the WAITRCD value is exceeded.
This may cause some presentation issues if you are using the ERRMSG / ERRMSGID 
keywords, as the automatic Reverse Image & lock keyboard functions do not work 
when you issue a READ to the display file.

OVRDSPF

Maximum record wait time . . . . WAITRCD

-or-

Another technique can be used by reading from a DataQ instead. It is
possible to associate a DataQ with a display file. Read from the DataQ
with a wait time (1800 seconds in your example). On a successful read,
read the waiting record in the display file. On a time out 'go into Last
Record mode and end'.

As well, we have a situation where the users sometimes hold a session w/
a particular program. However, in the past, they have not been able to
use the system values that pertain to ending sessions after a certain
time has passed and a key was not hit.



I would like to do something like this in the RPG program. If a user is
sitting on a screen for a long time, to be determines, lets say over 30
minutes, w/out doing anything, the RPG program should then go into Last
Record mode and end.



The program in question is basically a reprint program so there is not
an issue of file updates.



I cannot locate the correct method that would handle this in RPG.
Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.



Phil
