Diagnostic progress indicators

Diagnostic Progress Indicators are used to inform the user what is going on.

The Progress Indicators appear as a popup box at the bottom of the screen during a Diagnostic Application TRANSITIONAL screen or a Diagnostic Task TRANSITIONAL screen display.

The Progress Indicators may be turned off by using the Run Time Options Task. This selection sets the diagnostic environment variable DIAG_NO_PROGRESS appropriately.

These Progress Indicator messages must be kept short, one line, and under 30 characters. Note that the function key F10=Exit is overwritten by the Progress Indicator.

The diag_progress library function call is used for this Progress Indicator.
