Refresh your display

1. Put an INVITE keyword in your display file control record.

2. Either compile the display file with the WAITRCD parm set to the number of seconds you need or add an OVRDSPF FILE() WAITRCD(x) with the number of seconds you want to wait between refreshes.

3. In your RPG program:

 
               Write  Format Name
               Read   File Name
       Status  if     01331
               exsr   Reset SFL
               exsr   Load  SFL 
               endif 

In error_subr, check %STATUS for 01331; that's the timeout error and I'd redisplay (rewrite) the record format.
