Are you thinking key-at-a-time processing versus screen-at-a-time processing?

Hello,

5250 sessions can show a "message waiting" indicator, as soon as a message arrives, even if the user isn't hitting return and the screen doesn't poll like with an invited device.

Did anybody find out if this facility can be exploited/duplicated with "regular" programming for proper screen refreshing, without constant polling via Invite?

Thanks!
