Re: pausing a subfile

If you want that degree of sophistication in a green screen interface then you need to use something like the DSM APIs so that you control the display rather than Workstation Data Management controlling when the data is sent to the device.

As has been noted a regular subfile is only updated when the control record is displayed.

Frankly Booth you are trying to do something that 5250 terminals were never really designed to do.

This seemed simple enough but it has me stumped.

I am adding lines to a subfile. I want the user to see each line as it is added, using sleep() instead of exfmt. (Thank you for the links on that earlier. Works great.)

Writing the new subfile record and then writing the control record and sleep(1) seemed like the right choice. It apparently isn't. Any ideas?
