Given that formatting a DASD can take a lot of time depending on its
size (minutes to hours) would it be possible to add a progress indicator
to the dialog? Running dasdfmt with command line option -P causes it to
provide continuous formatting progress updates on stdout that could be
parsed by a calling script:
cyl 1 of 100 | 1%
cyl 2 of 100 | 2%
cyl 3 of 100 | 3%
cyl 4 of 100 | 4%
...
