Another method is to use the C function sleep. Its in binding directory
QC2LE, so you need to add that to the CRTPGM step.

Its very well documented in the 'Who knew you could do that with RPG' red
book, available online.

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.
