If I understand timeout correctly as long a Rbase is processing data it
has not started. Example
If I set timeout to 10 but start a process to do an update that may take
30 minutes, then the timeout will not start the count until the process
is complete?
FWIW ...
The TIMEOUT sets the environment when you type/execute "SET TIMEOUT nn"
command at the R> prompt or in your procedure, and a countdown only begins
when R:BASE is waiting for a keystroke, not while R:BASE is processing
commands or while you are entering data.
Technically, the TIMEOUT feature is intended to automatically disconnect
"idle" R:BASE session(s) for scheduled database maintenance, etc.
The TIMEOUT command will close ANY and ALL open forms, designers, and
editors WITHOUT saving the changes which have been made since the last
save.
It is the responsibility of the developer and end-user to implement proper
coding and/or behavior to eliminate unexpected shutdowns without saving
the changes.
The TIMEOUT command will disconnect from the currently opened database
(if applicable) before terminating the R:BASE session.
Very Best R:egards,
