Alternately you could use data queues to do this, and the RPG will
wait exactly until the asynchronous process is finished.

That seems to be a pretty round about way to get a delay. It can also cause confusion ... as someone else who's looking at the code might think the data queue is supposed to actually supply data,
Calling sleep() or DLYJOB makes a lot more sense to me.
