But you don't want to wait a fixed amount of time. You want to poll, using a QUERY-SLEEP loop. Sleep for one or two seconds between queries. You want the loop to be responsive without the CPU. (If you ever want to cancel a SLEEP, just press the ENTER key.) As an aside, use CP SLEEP only in a CMS guest, and only in those that are running scripts. Virtual machines like TCPIP, VTAM, RSCS, or PVM and those containing other operating systems will not like being given a sleeping draught and are likely to retaliate. Their communications partners get cranky as well and your best bet is to avoid e-pitchforks and e-torches (e-flame-operated). Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
