If you are talking about using the sleep statement, I assume you are using the same program to write and read. I believe that the write process does not return to the program until it has successfully completed the write.
However if you are dealing with large type 1 files consider using the Openseq, Readseq, writeseq facilities as these are effective in dealing with very large records. Readseq is a lot faster than using REC<n>.

I need to determine when a Basic WRITE Statement of a record to a Type 1 file has completed so I can execute a subsequent action on the record written, but not before all the data in the record has been written. These can be large records requiring various numbers of seconds to write so I'm uncomfortable using a defined-length SLEEP command.
