Happy holidays all, I just want to make sure I did not miss something over the U2 releases. Since the Microdata Reality days, I have used "SLEEP nn" to sleep for nn seconds. Simple, usually does the trick.
But in today's gotta have it now, I won't wait, environment, a second is sometimes way too long. Is there anything I missed over the last few years to sleep for less than a second? I am executing a phantom command from a UniObjects subroutine call and waiting for it to finish. I am using a phantom, just in case the program aborts or hangs. I am not in control of what code is being run, it could try to read or write to an unopened file for example. If the program does hang, I get the dreaded "Error 30102" message (not helpful at all). In most cases, the program reads the data it needs and finishes in less than a second. The UniObjects subroutine then writes a flag I can pick up to see that the data is ready to return to the UniObjects client. I don't want the subroutine constantly looping and reading for the flag. This would take a lot of the CPU cycles. But, I don't want to wait up to a second to see that the phantom has completed. Any ideas would be helpful. This needs to run on both UniData and UniVerse. Have a great New Year. One more year older for us "experienced" developers in the PICK community.
