PROGRES  PowerBASIC  Routine

         

PROGRES routine displays processing progress indicator and is intended for use in the file processing procedures (external executables started from the Windows command prompt) having a relatively short running time (about 1 minute).  For the longer running procedures the PROGRTM routine (with the elapsed/left time display) might be more appropriate.

Debugging program provides an example of the PROGRES routine usage with the three characteristic CALL lines (color-coded):

  • Start of processing — right after opening the file.  Initiates progress indicator display.
  • Progress of processing — right after reading each record of the file being processed (within the cycle of reading and processing file records).  Updates progress indicator display as each file record is being processed.
  • Finish of processing — after encountering the End-Of-File.  Completes progress indicator display.

If you'll choose to set your own progress symbols, any decent text editor (including PowerBASIC IDE) would provide you with the table of all symbols to choose from.  Color codes (PROGRES.BAS needs them in hex) can be found in the COLOR command description of PowerBASIC IDE.

Note:

It is essential that the calling procedure won't display any information on the screen while the PROGRES routine is active — otherwise the screen would be messed up.

      ' Type -------------------------------------------------------------------------

      '    Routine

      ' Parameters -------------------------------------------------------------------

      '    File%    - File number (as it was opened in calling program)
      '    Nam$     - Program name and version (E.g.: "CONVERT(0.0)")
      '    Title$   - Process title string (truncated to 64 chars if longer)
      '    Record$  - Current input record
      '    Mode$    - Progress indicator display mode:
      '               S  - Start
      '               P  - Progress
      '               F  - Finish (any value different from "S" or "P" is equivalent to "F")
      '    Appear$  - Appearance control string (fixed structure 6-character):
      '               +------- Incomplete symbol          (Default: ">")
      '               |+------ Complete   symbol          (Default: "=")
      '               ||+----- Incomplete color attribute (Default: "E"  - Yellow)
      '               |||+---- Complete   color attribute (Default: "B"  - Bright Cayan)
      '               ||||+--- Running    color attribute (Default: "A"  - Bright Green)
      '               |||||+-- Background color attribute (Default: "0"  - Black)
      '               ||||||
      '               123456
      '               >=EBA0 - Default appearance control string (padded with blanks)
      '                        Individual blanks default to corresponding symbols
      '                 Note:  This parameter is processed only in "Start" mode
      '                        (in "Progress" and "Finish" mode it is ignored)

      ' Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------

      '  - Routine is intended for use in file processing/conversion procedures
      '    running from command prompt and showing processing progress on a screen.
      '  - Use it with short running (about 1 minute) procedures.
      '  - For long procedures see routine PROGRTM (with elapsed/left time display).
      '  - Rotating indicator wheel is synchronized with completeness % display.
