What I mean is, can we put the task to sleep? I am looking at something similar to Unix sleep() fuction call. I am trying to write a Rexx program that runs in a loop and does some tasks. It should suspend/sleep itself and wake up after some time to repeat the task. >> CLICK for Mark's expert response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid501947_tax287555,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= HOW TO FTP TIFF AND TEXT FILES TO A MAINFRAME? | by Jim Keohane Dear Ask the Expert, I need to FTP a bunch of tiff files and a text file to a mainframe (OS/390) dataset from an HP-Unix server.
