SAP progress indicator bar to count number of records processed within ABAP report and stop timeout
The progress indicator adds a small timer in the lower left corner of the SAP screen. It not only
provides the user with the number of records processed but also stops reports timing out. It
does this by reseting the timeout timer whenever it is called.
UPDATE!!!
Progress indicator no-longer prevents timeout in later versions of SAP so you can use TH_REDISPATCH
