Ben,
If you have SAS/AF software, you can create a FRAME entry to display
while the SAS code runs. You can also submit the SAS code from the
FRAME SCL to synchronize the code execution and screen display.

I should add that the application is a SAS data mart and the splash
screen would be for during the load time while the beast awakens (about
30 seconds, base code execution, mainly copying large datasets to work
directory off the network),
Ben.
