Is there a difference between the timout variables?
When I looked in help I found these three versions MICRORIM_TIMEOUT RBG_TIMEOUT #MICRORIM_TIMEOUT
Charlie,
For R:BASE 7.x and V-8 "Turbo", use the "SET TIMEOUT value" along with "RBTI_TIMEOUT" to shut down an inactive R:BASE workstation and exit to Windows after a set amount of time passes.
The default for TIMEOUT is 0 (zero), which does not activate a countdown. TIMEOUT is set in minutes (not seconds), and all workstations must set TIMEOUT separately.
When a TIMEOUT occurs, a command file can be run; however, the command file cannot include a FILLIN, DIALOG, or PAUSE command, or expect a keystroke. If you want to run a command file when a TIMEOUT occurs, you need to store the name of the file in a variable called RBTI_TIMEOUT.
For example:
SET VARIABLE RBTI_TIMEOUT TEXT = 'c:\dbmaint\cleanup.rmd' RETURN
NOTE: 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.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
