PAUSE Macro Command

Pauses for a time proportional to the @DELAY parameter.

The PAUSE macro command is designed for use in a macro, in which it may be required to hold the information on the screen for a while before the next process is executed.

The delay is caused by executing a 'do nothing' arithmetic DO loop the number of times requested by the @DELAY parameter * 100. The user should experiment to find the delay caused by any given value of @DELAY.

Example

!PAUSE @DELAY=5
