Hi All,

I am trying to get my program to delay for a certain amount of microseconds
before continuing execution by using the usleep C function.  The only
problem is that it isn't delaying for the amount of time I specify!

Here is what I have in a RPGILE service program module:

           temp = 'Beg:' + %char(%timestamp()) + ' ms=' + %char(Cfg.Sleep);
           dsply temp;
           rc = usleep(Cfg.Sleep);
           temp = 'rc=' + %char(rc);
           dsply temp;
           temp = 'End:' + %char(%timestamp());
           dsply temp;

Results in joblog:

DSPLY  Beg:2006-12-12-13.02.32.931000 ms=300000
DSPLY  rc=0
DSPLY  End:2006-12-12-13.02.33.811000


If my calcs are correct, and based on the following url, 300000 microseconds
should equal 3 seconds which is NOT what my joblog is conveying.

Any ideas?
