Does Sleep exist in Script Editor ? 2

[Recce]

Hi,

I can't seem to use the funtion Sleep in Cognos Script Editor. Does it exist or is there a similiar funtion ?

Recce,

You can use a simple delay loop (for x = 1 to whatever), use the TIMER function, or use the Windows API to call the true sleep function itself. Do a keyword search here for more. It's been covered before a couple of times.

Put this before your sub declaration ...

Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

... then you can call the sleep function from within the macro. For example

Sleep 1000

This will 'sleep' for 1 second.

Enjoy your rest.
