I am trying to display a window showing the status of the program like the "Printing..." window on the ResourceLibrary. The window should show while I am building a subfile. I think I have the window coded alright because if I do an EXFMT to the window, it works; but if I do a WRITE to the window format, it never displays.

You must do either one of two things to make a WRITE put a screen out.

1. Change the display file to be DFRWRT(*NO).

2. Put the FRCDTA keyword on the format.

Formats are not displayed until a READ operation is performed by the program. This is the default for the AS/400. The above two methods are how you change this.
