Description
|
This function will suspend the processing in the REXX program for the specified number of seconds. If no parameter or a non-numeric parameter is specified, the default is 5 seconds. The maximum wait time is 999 seconds; any input larger than 999 is truncated to 999. While processing a Wait, all other Ironstream REXX automation processing is suspended, which should be taken into consideration when choosing a wait time. |
