Chris - how sure are you that the procedure will finish in the time you set - it is safer, although more to do, to check on the completion of the other procedure - one way would be for you job to wait on a cata queue and have the asynchronous process put an entry on that queue.

Chris,
I have had the need to do this on occasion, and I simply created
a CLP with DLYJOB DLY(2), then called it from the RPG program. The delay
number is the number of seconds it will delay.

Subject: Time Delay RPG IV

Good morning,

I was wondering if there is any way to make an rpg program wait for a
time interval (say, 2 seconds). I have to start an asynchronous
procedure and the rpg program has to wait until that procedure is done
and has returned files to the IFS before continuing.

Has anyone done something like this before?

Thank you,
