I have a command file that is a simple loop that creates files on the hard
drive that I just converted from 6.5 to 7.1. Prior to entering the loop I
place a simple Pause 4 using 'Please wait file creation in process' Then we
enter the loop and one by one the files are created, but in between each run of
the loop I placed a Pause for 2 in the code to give the hard drive enough time
to make sure the file is fully written. What happens is when it hits the pause
for 2 command, it places an OK button on pause 4 dialog box. Then after the
pause for 2 command finishes, it erases the Pause 4 box off the screen
completely. In RB 6.5 a Pause for N command never displayed anything nor did
it interfere with a Pause 4 window. Is there anyway to stop/suppress the Pause
for N from taking over the Pause 4 window.. I suppose a work around is to not
use the pause for N command and replace it with a While counting loop.
Simple Example Test Code
pause 4 using 'this is a test'
set var vcount integer = 0
while vcount < 50 then
set var vcount = (.vcount + 1)
pause for 1 *( here you see an 'OK' Box appear on the Pause 4 window and then
after it
Finishes the pause 4 window is cleared *)
endwhile
return
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks
