Forcing a enter from EXFMT

[dcutaia]

Hello,

I am performing a EXFMT to a display screen from an RPG program. The screen is a submission message to the user i.e.
"Thank you for your submission; it will be forward to the proper department for processing"
Program sends email.


How do I force a enter so the user won't need to press <ENTER> to leave display screen.

The EXFMT does a combination of WRITE and READ but I need to just display the screen.

Thanks,

DAC

I tried a write and read but it is essentially the same thing as a EXFMT. I need to force an <ENTER> after the read.

Are you trying to display a screen for a period of time then have it disappear, without the user doing any action?

Hi dcutaia:

I'm sure there are other methods but this may help:

Pay particular attention to post 19
Instead of re-loading the subfile you will want to seton lr and exit the program

Best of Luck

Add the FRCDTA keyword to the display format. Write the display format then just do a DLYJOB for however long you need it to wait.
