James:

Maybe RPG will wait for a response, and maybe it won't. It depends...

From the V4R3 RPG Reference (I know you appreciate vintage references):

   When factor 1 contains an entry and the result field is blank, 
the contents of the factor 1 entry are displayed. The program
    does not wait for a response unless a display file with the 
parameter RSTDSP (*NO) specified was used to display a format at
    the workstation. Then the program waits for the user to press 
Enter.

You might need to clarify _exactly_ what behavior you're looking for.

RPG gets some stuff compiled into it around 'display files' that 
sometimes cause unexpected results.
