delay in RPG/LE
Is there a command that can cause a delay in the execution of code ?

Re: delay in RPG/LE
use the C API sleep or use QCMDEXC to issue a DLYJOBI'm not anti-social, I just don't like people -Tommy Holden -

Re: delay in RPG/LE
Sorry to revive this thread, but I found it while searching for a similar need... Which method (sleep vs dlyjob) is most efficient? I am creating a report (spool file) to e-mail as a PDF attachment. Since I'm still on v5r4, I'm using a print writer to create the PDF file on the IFS.... typically this process isn't quite finished by the time my pgm is ready to send the e-mail message.Originally posted by jamief View Post
I'm using the ChkIfsObj2 sub procedure to check for it's existance, but I want to delay a few seconds and loop until it's available.
This whole process will be repeated several hundred times (create report, create pdf, send e-mail). So I would like for this to be as efficient as possible.
BTW - I see you are using Inovis EDI software
ThanksComment

Re: delay in RPG/LE
they are the same under the covers. neither is "more efficient" a delay is a delay is a delay...( i suppose if 1/100th of a nanosecond response time is a big deal the sleep API might be the best option...)I'm not anti-social, I just don't like people -Tommy HoldenComment

Re: delay in RPG/LE
I like to use the api (sleep), I guess the difference is that its a direct call and can be monitored for specific errors ??
while the DLYJOB is called via QCMDEXEC...All my answers were extracted from the "Big Dummy's Guide to the As400"

Re: delay in RPG/LE
Thanks for your help! I went with the QCMDEXC method since I was already using it in this pgm. Here's what I came up with.
Code:for x = 1 to 10; if ChkIfsObj2(%trim(Stmf):ObjType:NbrBytes:C_Errno:C_ErrText) = *on; leave; else; cmdstring = 'dlyjob 6'; qcmdexc(cmdstring:%len(cmdstring)); endif; endfor;Comment
