It sounds like what you want is the behavior you get if your form calls another form which is modal. So, my solution would be to create a modal form with a method that has the code you currently have in your PRG. When you call this form, make sure you use the NOSHOW clause so it doesn't appear, and don't forget to RELEASE it when the process is done.
