Doug this works for me in UniData:
SLEEP.TIME = 500 ;* .5 Second
ERR = openSocket("loopback", 25, 1, SLEEP.TIME, hBUFF)

Thanks for this tip on NAP, The documentation does say it sleeps for
milliseconds. I tried it and it works.
RQM for UniData says it does the same as sleep.
Well 1/2 of the problem solved! Still looking or a UniData answer.

If my memory serves correct, I believe on UniData it's RQM .

Doug,
If Universe, look at NAP, it does milliseconds.
Can't remember what it is in Unidata, maybe SLEEPM?

Subject: [U2] Sleeping in Basic
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. (circa 1978)
