Syntax: SET FEEDBACK ON/OFF
Default: OFF
This setting displays processing results when either calculating or editing rows.

2.AUTONUM
3.COMPUTE
5.CROSSTAB
6.DELETE
7.INSERT
8.The data transfer for the JOIN of two tables
9.LOAD
10.The data transfer for a PROJECT command
11.SELECT
12.SORTing a large record set
13.The data transfer for a SUBTRACT of two tables
14.TALLY
15.The UNION command
16.UNLOAD
When using any of the various commands at the R> Prompt with FEEDBACK set ON, the FEEDBACK system variables are generated to hold the processed row count and elapsed time for the command.
RBTI_RowsInserted = 101010 INTEGER
RBTI_RowsDeleted = 0 INTEGER
RBTI_RowsUpdated = 0 INTEGER
RBTI_ElapsedTime = 0:00:01.468 TEXT
By default the FEEDBACK message is always in the center of the screen. However, you may specify coordinates for the FEEDBACK message box, rather than being always in the center of the screen. Use the following PROPERTY commands to customize the location of the FEEDBACK message box:
PROPERTY APPLICATION FEEDBACK_POSITION_TOP 35
PROPERTY APPLICATION FEEDBACK_POSITION_LEFT 35
PROPERTY APPLICATION FEEDBACK_POSITION_RIGHT 200
PROPERTY APPLICATION FEEDBACK_POSITION_BOTTOM 200
PROPERTY APPLICATION FEEDBACK_POSITION_VERTICAL_CENTER ' '
PROPERTY APPLICATION FEEDBACK_POSITION_HORIZONTAL_CENTER ' '
To display the FEEDBACK results from the last INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE, without displaying the FEEDBACK dialog, initiate the following PROPERTY command parameter:
PROPERTY APPLICATION GET_LAST_FEEDBACK ' '
