Looking into a recordset until it returns a result

I currently connect to two servers. One is IIS, that runs my asp and
sql server, and the other is an AS400, that also cranks out data.
Sometimes I have to wait for data I submit to the as400 to finish
being processed before it kicks back the recordset. If my page runs
before the as400 is done, it crashes. To put a delay into the page to
give the as400 plenty of time to finish, I've been placing a simple
loop for x = 1 to 1000000000 before proceeding to trying to display
the recordset.

What I'd like to do is find a loop that will keep looping if the
recordset is not populated, and then display once it is. Does anyone
know how I would do this?

Thanks,

Bill

How do you "submit" data to the AS400? Doesn't sound as though you are just
querying the system...

Could someone help me by answering the questions below? What's a cursor? What's difference between Query and View? Is a RecordSet just part of a table? Can it be part of a query of view?
