Re: 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"

You can do a search in the archives and look for "DLYJOB in RPG"...

Good luck! :o)
