Returning control to a program from a dspf without user input
A co-worker is writing a program in which he wants to display a screen
with all output fields for a few seconds and then return control to the
program without the user taking any action. When return controls to the
program he wants to immediately display a window over the initially
displayed screen.
Something like
Exfmt Screen1 ;
//no user input
//wait about five seconds
Exfmt Screen2 ;
I've looked through the dspf keywords and nothing is jumping out at me.
Any suggests on how to accomplish this?
