Question on Wait in Rexx?

[imrexx]

Hi

i am doing a program which do an autosave similar which MSWORD does. For that i need to hold my REXX program for sometime and then i shud proceed using wait routine i wrote it manually.

But if i use this program by passing a macro in any other EDIT session it hangs. Coz of running a REXX program in background. And when i press an Attention key it says "<macro-name> macro error".

Could any1 suggest me how to proceed? i need to run my REXX program in the background when i am editing a Dataset.

Thanks
Imran

Figure some other way. You should never cause a foreground operation to wait -- ties up the system.
