Hi All:
Are you doing a Write/Read instead of an EXFMT?

Subject: DDS timeout
Hi,
(Please excuse the long post...)
I'm trying to write a program that displays information on the screen
and times out after say 5 seconds. I have the messages from August
where someone else was doing something similar (but I'm not using
subfiles).
I'm overriding the display to WAITRCD(5), and using the INVITE keyword
in DDS. Because I need the display to wait until there's input before
timing out, INVITE has an indicator attached to it.
Here's what's happening: when I run the program LVWEDGEC: I can type
an account number (will be a card swipe in production, so it's an
invisible field). Indicator 2 gets turned on, because the IACCT field
is now protected, the cursor moves to the topleft corner, and "timeout
period" displays on the screen. But the display never times out. It's
as if INVITE isn't active.
I've tried INVITE at the record and file levels, with no effect. I've
tried READing the display file and display record format names, with
no effect.
If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly
appreciate it. It feels like I have all the pieces but don't have them
in the right place yet.
TIA,
Loyd Goodbar
