refresh_interval

[TRMW]
refresh_interval=0

Applies when the 4.621 and later terminal managers are in use. Processed when QAB programs are loaded or when a C application calls the trm_set_progname() function.

Setting a non-zero value for this allows you to reduce the frequency at which programs such as DBCHECK and REORGDB update the screen.

The refresh_interval specifies a minimum delay in milliseconds between calls to the trm_refresh() function (nextchar() in QAB). Calls to trm_refresh() are ignored if the function was last called within the specified time limit. Using this option may speed up these programs by removing unnecessary screen output. A value of 50 or 100 still allows the screen to be updated frequently and can save quite a lot of time.
