The database driven widgets run their selection asynchronously in a separate job from the Rich Display program. Unfortunately, that job will not have access to the QTEMP library from the program.

A different way of loading the dropdown that would work is to load the "choices" and "choice values" properties from your RPG program. Just bind these properties to a large character field and load comma separated lists in them.
