The customer wants the addition of a progress bar, when executing scripts. Currently the software will just hang, until the script is finished, which gives a bad impression to the user as they might think the application has crashed.
The folowing example shows how to add a progress bar in an IronPython script:

A progress bar that would provide the % of achievement of the execution of a data function or also the reload of a table
This will also help while executing parameterized procedures using Information links on demand.
I received this same request from a customer yesterday. When running a TERR/R script interactively, you can keep an eye on progress through strategic messages printed out at key points, but not so when running as a batch-mode data function. The customer is considering using .NET for long computations, because they would have access to the progress.
