Re: Microfocus Cobol "SLEEP" routine

Hello.

Is there a way in MF Cobol to pause program execution (sleep) for, let's
say, 5 minutes??? My workaround is to call the AIX command "sleep 300". I
need a routine in Cobol itself so I may vary the time to pause in some
programs.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I don't know a commando for sleep.

Either you write a loop with perform varying... or you use a loop with
checking out the time while it is looping.
But in both solutions the program/machine is (very) busy and not
sleeping!
