Not a problem!
A dilemma: The original poster asked a generic "timeout" question on the
MIDRANGE-L, which was non-specific as to the solution's language. No arrows,
therefore, for publishing an RPG solution here, please.
Although Scott Klement gets all the credit for this nifty technique, I will
add that it's *possible* I may have "dumbed-down" his code to get it to work
at V3R2; I can't remember for certain.
Display file TIMEOUTD:
A DSPSIZ(24 80 *DS3)
A R SCREEN1
A INVITE
A FRCDTA
A 9 17'There is a timeout on this-
A screen. Press ENTER'
A 10 27'or wait for it to time out.'
A MSG 50 O 14 16
RPG-IV program TIMEOUTR: (Note: RPG-III example follows)
fTimeOutD cf e Workstn UsrOpn
d RunCmd pr ExtPgm('QCMDEXC')
d Cmd 200a Const
d Len 15p 5 Const
d RcvDtaQ pr ExtPgm('QRCVDTAQ')

d dqLib 10a Const
d dqLen 5p 0
d dqData 80a

c* create a data queue in QTEMP.
c Callp RunCmd('CRTDTAQ DTAQ(QTEMP/TESTDQ) -

c* Make the display file use the new data queue
c Callp RunCmd('OVRDSPF FILE(TIMEOUTD) DTAQ(' +
c 'QTEMP/TESTDQ)': 200)
c* open the display file.
c Open TimeOutD
c* Show the screen the user. This format has the
c* "FRCDTA" keyword so the screen will show up immediately, and the
c* "INVITE" keyword so the keyboard isn't locked.
c Write Screen1
c* Wait for one of two conditions...
c* 1) an entry to appear on the data queue or
c* 2) A timeout while waiting for the data queue.
c Eval DQLen = 80
c Eval Timeout = 10
c Callp RcvDtaQ('TESTDQ':'QTEMP': DQLen: DQData:
c Timeout)
c* Show the results... (if Len=0, no data was received...)
c If dqLen = 0
c Eval Msg = 'TIMEOUT! Press ENTER to quit.'
c Else
c Read SCREEN1 9999
c Eval Msg = 'ENTER! Press ENTER again to quit'
c Endif
c Write SCREEN1
c* Wait "forever" for enter to be pressed, this time.
c* (Timeout=-1 means that it'll never timeout)
c Eval Timeout = -1
c Callp RcvDtaQ('TESTDQ':'QTEMP': DQLen: DQData:
c Timeout)
c Read SCREEN1 9999
c* Do some cleanup and end...
