AS/400 INSTRUCTIONS:

ADDLIBLE MONITOR

MONITOR

(The first cycle may show a cpu of 100% )

NOTE:    Display format MONITORFM was compiled with   WAITRCD(15)   You can change the refresh rate of MONITOR by recompiling MONITORFM with a different WAITRCD time.  I don’t recommend using less than 10 seconds.   You can also use  the command CHGDSPF FILE(MONITOR/MONITORFM) WAITRCD(NN)    NN= the amount of seconds to wait before the screen is refreshed. Eg 15

NOTE2:  IBM can change the lengths of API formats from release to release. You may have to  modify the program MONITOR (RPG)  to make it work with your OS/400 release.
