Yes, the keyword is WINDOW at R level.

Not automatically, you should have the program wait and redisplay the
window with the value re-calculated.

If I understand you correctly, you are probably wanting to insert a
window record into your DDS. If you're using SDA, select the window
type when adding the new record.

You'd need to modify your DSPF or override it to specify a maximum
record wait time. Normally this is *NOMAX however you can make it
some other figure. Once the display times out, control returns to
your program where you can change the estimated time and redraw the
display.
