Automatic Screen Refresh

[Joe Boyle]

I seem to recall [ please bear in mind that it's been 18 months since I
worked with Axiant and that I have only my recollections to go on ;-(  ]
that continuous while loops take enormous amounts of cpu on the client side,
and that the user may have to pack his client's box in ice to evacuate the
heat generated; that said, our lister requires a setup which requires the
user to not have to press any keys, and that the refresh process be entirely
automatic. Is this possible?  I wonder if Cognos will provide him with a
build which will enable the 'wait 30' syntax to function in Ax 3.1 - for all
I know this may be a new feature in the later 3.4(5+?) versions.

Paul:

i believe Mikael is right.
To cause Axiant thin client to wait 30 seconds.
You could run the following in a separate display thread.
You could test a JCW or a SYSTEM variable to see if you need
to change the selection criteria.
Toggle between the

TEMPORARY USERJCW_NAME character size 8 RESET AT STARTUP
TEMPORARY WAIT FLOAT SIZE 4 INITIAL 30.0
  TEMPORARY FOREVER initial 1
  WHILE ( FOREVER = 1 )
  BEGIN
  IF ( USERJCW <> JCW ( USERJCW_NAME ) )
     THEN BEGIN
              ACCEPT NEW_KEY
             END

  GET DATA
  DISPLAY DATA
  INFO " " now
  DO EXTERNAL 'PAUSE'  ( WAIT )
  END
  PROCEDURE INITIALIZE
  BEGIN
; You need to uniquely identify the session
;
  GET USERJCW via UNIQUE_KEY using UNIQUE_KEY
  LET USERJCW_NAME = USERJCW_NAME of USERJCW
  END

Good luck,
Peter
