RE: Time Delay In RPG IV

Since it is a Windows service, apparently, he probably has no control over what it does - so has to work with the resulting output - hence polling is about the only solution.

And I'm happy all these ideas have been broached.

RE: Time Delay In RPG IV







Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. The problem is that the
process I'm waiting on is a Windows Service running on a Windows 2003
Server and I'm not sure how I'd capture any state information from that
program. Even if I could, I don't think I would get anything meaningful
as it doesn't 'terminate' when it is over but merely finishes processing
the files I've put into its queue (I'm converting files from one
document type to another).

Because of that, I'm not sure how I'd be able to use a dataqueue unless
I could create a program that checks for the new file names. I've
basically done that in the same program by waiting 1 second then
checking for the existence of the files then waiting another second. It
feels a bit kludgy but I can't think of anything better.

Again, thanks for all the help,
Chris Anderson
