Progress Bar

Introduction
A progress bar is a graphical representation of a job's progress and is used extensively in the standard application. By using a progress bar, users can follow the job's progress. It is best practice to always display a progress bar during a lengthy process.

Progress Bar within a batchable class
The RunBase framework has methods which will initialize the progress bar so that you can focus on coding the process.

// progress bar Runbase demo public void run {   str     text; int    percent; int    counter; int64  progressTotal = 200; // hard coded for demo purpose (this is normally calculated) ;

this.progressInit("Processing", progressTotal, #AviFormLetter); progress.setText("Item");

for (counter = 1; counter <= progressTotal; counter ++) {       //        // processing happens here //       sleep(10); //       // progress bar text for the current 'item' //       percent = decRound((counter / progressTotal) * 100, 0); text   = strFmt("Item %1 of %2 (%3%)", counter, progressTotal, percent); progress.setText(text); progress.incCount; }

progress = null; }

Progress Bar within a Method
On occasion you may want to show a progress bar from a method, whether that be inside a class or just a job. You can show it as follows:

SysOperationProgress progress = new SysOperationProgress; progress.setAnimation(#....); // from AviFiles macro progress.setCaption(" ");
 * 1) AviFiles

//99 Steps to perform progress.setTotal(99);

progress.incCount;

progress.setCount(2);

progress.setCaption(" ");

progress.kill;
