NOTE: Display format EVENTSFM was compiled with WAITRCD(20) You can change the refresh rate of EVENTS by recompiling EVENTSFM with a different WAITRCD time. I don’t recommend using less than 20 seconds. You can also use the command CHGDSPF FILE(EVENTS/EVENTSFM) WAITRCD(NN) NN= the amount of seconds to wait before the screen is refreshed. Eg 20

NOTE: If left unattended, when the subfile reaches 99998 records EVENTS ends itself .
