All the output from Autochk writes to the R> output window. If your app doesn't have the R> output window, you can't see anything (eg: RHIDE is active).

I agree that a lengthy process that is initiated within program code and not at the R> should have some overt feedback method, especially with the 64 bit versions of RBase where the size of the DB can make some of the maintenance activities take a prolonged period of time,

A redirected output to a custom control tha you could show on a Pause or Dialog like the progress bar would be a worthy enhancement request.

It wouldn't be too dificult since the mechanism for the output is already in place.

Maybe it wouldn't have to write line by line the output, but maybe just the incremental elements of it with a little spinner next to it during the line by line stuff.

Interesting suggestion! I put "set feedback on" at the top of my program, but nope it doesn't show anything.

Have you tried with

SET FEEDBACK ON

Does anyone have a way to show the progress messages that "autochk full" shows? It takes a long, long time to autochk this database and I'm worried that if I just display the usual "please wait..autochk in progress" message that they'll think it's locked up and end the session. Using 7.6 windows.
