PFMBTO

[Robert Haussmann]

Does anyone use the PFMBTO environmental variable?  It's my understanding that if I set this to say 5, any MSGBOX message should clear itself in 5 seconds.  When running in a batch situation, this would keep the processing from halting (waiting for user import), correct?  I can't seem to make this work, and am wondering if my expectations are not correct.

If I run the following batch file, it should complete without any user intervention, correct? (no need for the user to press ENTER):

SET PFMBTO=5
\fp\rreport test -fp test -a

(test.prc has a single line:  MSGBOX "Test record"<@rn)

What could I be doing wrong?  Also, is there any equivalent timeout variable that would work for ERRORBOX as well as /instead of MSGBOX?

Thanks,
Bob
