RE: How to make a program "sleep" for an amount of time?

Mike,

Use QCMDEXC to execute the DLYJOB command for the required amount of time,
then loop back and try again.

Subject: How to make a program "sleep" for an amount of time?


 
Supposing I want to access an object and I find it is locked, and now I want
my program to "sleep", or wait, for say 10 minutes and then loop back and
try again.

Is there a way (API perhaps?) that RPGLE can do this?

TIA
 
Michael
