Process Help A full description of the suspend-processing-for-period process.

PAUSE (suspend-processing-for-period)

Introduction

Pauses for a time proportional to the @DELAY parameter.

How to use

The PAUSE process 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.

Notes

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
