Re: Delay job from RPGLE

I cat see any real value to using DLYJOB when you can use sleep(). In order to DLYJOB you have to go through two additional layers of code (QCMDEXC and DLYJOB) to get to the same place - that takes horsepower.

I have also seen customer situations where this overhead caused poll intervals to be missed - admittedly when doing 1 second or less intervals but ...

Thanks to all.
I did not realize that I could issue the DLYJOB command via QCMDEXC.
I will keep in mind the other option of using the sleep procedure also.

From an RPGLE program, how can I cause the job to wait for a specific
time before resuming? (Similar to the DLYJOB CL command)

QCMDEXC('QSYS/DLYJOB DLY(60)':20);

?
