GOAL:
Can a DLL be run asynchronously?
FIX:
The 4GL itself has no direct way to run a function defined in a DLL asynchronously. It is possible, however, for the function that is being called to spin the real work off into a separate thread so that the function returns immediately. If the developer of the DLL wrote the code in such a manner, check the documentation for the DLL and see if a second function was provided that will tell when the spawned thread has finished processing.
