Percentage is a optional parameter between 0 and 100. if this value is not
equal to zero, the sapgui displays a watch (or a bar in elder guis) which is
filled up to the given percent.

For displaying the progress indicator on the gui, the application have to
communicate with the sapgui via network. this costs a lot (!) of time.
You'll see it, when you try the same programm one time with function call,
and another time without the function call.
Normally I use a small subroutine, which calls the function module only
after several loops. This can be done i.e. by estimating the time since the
last call.
