If you just want to wait for a real-time interval while in SRB (or for that
matter task) mode, you can use the very handy (and remarkably, Programming
Interface) service pointed to by ECVTXTSW, and minimally documented in the
ECVT mapping macro. If you want to wait for that time interval while also
waiting for another event (perhaps your cancel ECB), you have some
additional work of your own to do.

If you really want your own DIE code, calling ECVTXTSW and then observing
the trace table may teach you a thing or two about the underlying services
needed. Running the TQE chain in a standalone dump is also interesting (for
best results don't try this in real time...)

Peter Relson kindly pointed this routine out to me a couple of years ago,
and certainly it's a lot easier to use than doing the whole roll-your-own
DIE thing, if rather less flexible.
