A utility to display progress

[Pickie]

I just thought I'd post a utility subroutine to display progress of a
task.

SUBROUTINE GRAPH(percent,caption)
*
* Displays % completion of a task
*
CRT @(19,11):' |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ':@(-4)
CRT @(19,12):' 0 20 40 60 80 100':@(-4)
CRT @(19,13):' ':caption:@(-4)
bar.length = INT(percent*40/100)
bar = STR(' ',bar.length)
CRT @(20,10):@(-13):bar:@(-14):percent:' %':@(-4)
RETURN

Well, I like it. I'd like to see more code snippets here.

I've found with every new system I install, programs that used to take
a while, now go so quickly my counters and progress reports just flash
by - not needed any more! Nothing like linux on a dual core, with
lots of RAM.

Cheers

It's a shame we can't get the vendors to put in a progress bar on long
running selects, etc. You know - frames processed vs. total frames.

Oh well - just dreaming...

Ummmmm.,,, try the "(T)" option on a select (at least on D3).

Of course if you are running D3 on Windows you don't need it because a
million record select is done in a flash.

PROVIDED your select isn't too complex and is running against an
indexed field
