Generate message to user as SP output

Cullima — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 12:27:10 GMT

I have a SP created from an EG job which extracts some data and then sends the user a few .csv files. I want the users to be able to request this file from the SAS Portal by entering their parameters and running the SP. However, at the moment when they hit run a blank window opens with no indication as to progress. As the SP does not generate any output via the browser this window remains blank. The data extract can take around 5 mins to run. What I would therefore like is for a message to appear to the user once they hit run to let them know their request has been submitted and that they will receive the results via email. How can I acheive this?
