Re: Refreshing a kiosk screen

I have an example somewhere too.

If memory serves, I did not have to use the *pssr.

Read / write was used, not exfmt, in the program and the waitrcd was set on the compiled dds. This was compiled along the lines of a ICF dds file.
INVITE was used in the DDS.

Hi Booth,

If it's an example of green screen (5250) you need, I have an working example
(RPG and DDS) I can send you. As I recall there's also a lot of Scott's socket's
inside, but you can leave this out.

Refreshing a kiosk screen

This is probably simple, but it has me scratching my head. I want to
automatically refresh a screen. There must be a better way than a loop
that just keeps subtracting the start time from the current time until
the refresh limit is reached? That seems like a solution that will
hammer performance. There must be a better way?

Any suggestions?
