Values for SET REFRESH must be non-negative integer values. Using decimal values causes the value to be 'rounded' down to the next lowest integer, so using .5 sets it to 0.

You could try SET REFRESH TO 0, 1.

Note that this will significantly increase network traffic, so it should be used judiciously.

>I tested your specification of 0.5 this morning and it caused no change in either value. Param1 remained as 0 and param2 remained at 5. This means that other workstation changes to records buffered at the (issuing)workstation could take up to 5 seconds to become known at the workstation.
