In an other part of the thread you reminded us that you are on version 6.5++. Here is a quote about FEEDBACK option from www.rsyntax.com for v6.5++. "Name: FEEDBACK Values: OFF / ON Family: SET Parameter Category: Display Control Description: Determines the amount of feedback R:BASE gives for certain commands.
This setting displays processing results when either calculating or editing rows. With this setting on, R:BASE displays the number of rows processed and the elapsed time to completion in the status bar. Displays occur while in the Data Browser, when printing reports and labels, and when using certain R:BASE commands. " So give it a try and see what happens.
