I am using Or_view as a function to display an rlist command.

Is there any way to display "Gauge" when the window is processing the command?

Thanks

You could include a symbolic with @Ans=1 (include AND WITH SYMBOLIC=1 in the query) and in the symbolic update a gauge somewhere.

Thanks Andrew,

Sounds good but am still a little clueless. (No peanut gallery please)

Would I have to put a symbolic in every table that I run

off of? Could I create this symbolic on the fly?

How would I update a gauge in the symbolic?

Well you could put it in SYSDICT. You'd have a standard status message of your own with some form of progress indicator - button getting wider, %age readout increasing etc etc. At the beginning of the report you'd see how many rows you were going to process, then as you process new rows using a combination of @Rn.Counter and @Rec.Count you could increment your display.

If this sounds fuzzy it's 'cos it's a couple of years since I last did it,sorry!
