Purpose

When &#@RTCONT is enabled (default), the prompt ENTER RETURN TO CONTINUE appears at the end of a screen.  This prompt gives the user time to read the screen before it is cleared.  When &#@RTCONT is disabled, no such prompt is output.

Syntax

&#@RTCONT

Remarks

&#@RTCONT is automatically enabled by PROIV when any screen output is performed it is automatically disabled when a user enters data at the keyboard.  PROIV uses this to determine whether or not the user has had a chance to see all fields and messages on the screen before the screen is cleared.  

Sometimes this is not desirable therefore the developer can disable &#@RTCONT.  The timing of the disable is critical, it must occur after the display of data and before the screen is cleared.  Usually, disabling &#@RTCONT is done in Function Exit Logic since it is the last logic performed before function exit.
