Sleep/Wait

I have been trying to get the business function to work that will cause my UBE to wait for a specified number of seconds.

I have tried the Time to Sleep and the Wait x Seconds. It seems that it just passes over the statement.

Has anyone used either one of these functions and could help me with what I should be passing to the function to make it wait for a number of seconds?

Thanks

Hi Roger,

Try using "Sleep Time" in module B98825. It has only one parameter which is the delay in milliseconds. So 1000 is 1 second, 60000 is 60 seconds etc. I haven't looked at the functions you named but maybe these are expecting milliseconds too, so they do pause but only for a fraction of the time you thought, as it was in seconds.

Roger,

Depending on your platform the syntax of the sleep command will be Sleep(milliseconds) for NT or sleep(seconds) for AIX (+ possibly others). The code below should compile on any platform.

int iTime = 5;

#if _WIN32
/* running windows */
Sleep(iTime * 1000);
#else
/* not running windows */
sleep(iTime);
#endif


You could use the MathNumericToInt API to populate you iTime variable.

In xe Time to Sleep and Wait x Seconds are client only functions. Sleep
Time (B98825) only works on NT servers. I would create my own business
function, copying the code from Wait x Seconds (which works on NTs and
AS400s...not sure about others), build it and deploy to your server.

I am using the AS/400 as the server and I can't get any of them to work.
