Re: How to PAUSE a SQR?

["Huber, Robert" <RHuber@IMF.ORG>]

The command would look something like the following:

             CALL SYSTEM USING 'sleep 60' #sleep_status

The would put the program to sleep for 60 seconds. On regaining control if
the value of #sleep_status = 0 then the command was successful and if >0
there was an error.

You should check "man sleep" to confirm usage for your specific variant of
Unix.

I have never issued a system command to Unix and therefore don't know how to
do
it, or the syntax.
Could you please give me an example of how you do this?  I would appreciate
your
help!!

Thanks!

Actually you supplied your own answer. Issue a system command to Unix to
sleep! In-point-of-fact I do exactly that and it works just as you might
expect.

Is there a SQR command that will cause the program to sleep or wait for a
specified number of seconds?
For example, in UNIX shell script you can say   SLEEP 10   and this will
cause
the program to stop for 10 seconds.
Is there a similar command in SQR?


Thanks
