Asynchronous remote procedures
If you run a remote procedure asynchronously, the client application continues execution immediately after the RUN statement that invokes the remote procedure completes. The remote procedure executes in a server session. You can then access the results of the remote request in an event procedure that executes in response to a PROCEDURE-COMPLETE event. The client handles the event in the context of a PROCESS EVENTS or other blocking I/O statement, similar to an ABL user-interface event, and executes the event procedure like a user-interface trigger.
