| Description |
Suspends processing for a specific number of seconds, or until a specific time.
The "sleep" time may be specified as a numeric expression, which indicates the number of seconds to "sleep", or as a "time.expression" in "military time" format (hh:mm:ss). If no argument is indicated, the process sleeps for one second. "rqm" and "sleep" are identical. AP release 6.1.0 and above allow the specification of fractional seconds in the numeric expression. Also, a numeric expression of zero will cause the process to relinquish its time slice. |
