Thanks Buck. I'm looking for a way to delay less than a second. I was just using 30 seconds as a test.

It's been a hectic one! I have never used usleep; I use sleep. Looking at the manual, IBM recommends setitmer() instead. I ran this on V4R5 and got the same results as you - no error and no delay. qsysinc/sys types defines useconds_t as unsigned int, so that doesn't seem to be the problem, but the manual says that it throws an error if trying to delay more than a million microseconds. If you really want to delay 30 seconds, try sleep. It takes seconds instead of microseconds. --buck _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
