Subject: Timing loop


What's the best way to implement a timing loop in RPG without creating
another CFINT that would eat up the system?  i.e. I would like to wait 5
seconds and retry something, but I don't want to be testing the time every
.000001 microseconds (or however fast a loop would execute) to see if 5
seconds has passed or not.
