Absolutely,
Use the WAKEUP module.
I have a program that waits for reader files and messages. The
waiting part looks like:
do forever
'WAKEUP +30 (RDR IUCVMSG'
saverc = rc
select
when saverc = 4 then
"process reader file"
when saverc = 5 then
"process a message"
You might want to change the +30 if all it does is wait for reader
files. See HELP WAKEUP for details

Subject: Best method
All:
What is the best method to code, for a SVM, a wait for a file to
arrive in its reader?
I have a (very old) EXEC that has a "do forever" loop with a
"EXECIO * CP (STEM" aa. "STRING CP Q RDR * ALL" command followed by a
SLEEP when no files are found. Is there a better method of "waking up"
an EXEC when a RDR file arrives?
Thanks, in advance.
David Wakser
