Why just not to call it directly ?

CALL 'sleep' USING BY VALUE 300.

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.
