Larry,

 

I had a process that I needed to pause briefly to wait for another process
(screen grabber??) to complete.

 

What I did was create a Custom Form Action with a loop that compared the
current time against the starting time in milliseconds; when the desired
interval was reached, the form action ended and control returned to the
calling code.

 

PROPERTY RBASE_FORM_ACTION MyMSecTimer 'USING 250'

 

Where 250 was the desired interval. I could then call the Custom Form Action
with any interval.

A better approach would be to place it in a stored procedure, so it is
available from anywhere.

 

Javier,

Subject: [RBASE-L] - PAUSE for less than one second.

 

I want to pause each time through a loop, but only for 250 milliseconds (a
quarter second).

 

PAUSE FOR works fine for whole numbers of seconds.  Is there any way to
pause for something shorter than a second?
