RE: DLYJOB in RPG

Andy,

In my shop we have a function in a service program that uses the QRCVDTAQ
API to cause variable delays. Pass the API the value in seconds to wait for
an entry in a data queue that never has any entries. After the wait interval
has passed, QRCVDTAQ will return control to your program. With the service
program wrapper, we can pass hour, minute, or second values.

HTH,
Roger Mackie (my grandfather was a Hautamaki)

Subject: DLYJOB in RPG


I have a series of batch jobs that if they get a record lock on update will
call a CLP program and pass it how long to do a DLYJOB and then after the
'Delay' my RPG programs will try to retrieve the record again.

My question is, instead of doing this 'DLYJOB' from a CLP can it be done
directly from within RPG? ........ API maybe????

Andy
